Learning Matters: Reporting you trust on education stories that matter

Tweet

The Shared Poetry Project — inspired by this John Merrow blog entry — invites public school students to film community members reciting lines of poetry, then edit the readings into a video for the Learning Matters YouTube channel. This exciting project provides students the opportunity to develop or strengthen real-world skills of teamwork, quality control, and production. It also can introduce the 80% of Americans who do not have school-aged children to the remarkable abilities of our youth.

We’ve produced several examples so far. They are available on one link here, and one example is embedded above.
