Project Overview

This is an international online collaborative writing project. Student writers from the USA and UK write magazine articles in their respective towns entitled: A Student Night Out. The students exchange articles and discuss cultural similarities and differences (and in particular into the different cultures of writing), and the students make international relationships that can fruitfully develop into the future.
