The Newberry Academy is a public school in the Old Town neighborhood
of Chicago, Illinois. In spring of 1996, one of our fifth grade classes
participated in a writing apprenticeship pilot project called the
Writing Exchange.
Each fifth grader was paired with an excellent student at
Von Steuben High School, a Chicago public school on the far north side of
the city. Writing apprentices and mentors used e-mail to become acquainted
and to share writing. This cyberzine is the result of some of the Newberry
student's writing.
