The student writing issue publishes writing by students in middle school and high school. Pieces submitted to the NCTE Promising Young Writers and Writing Achievement Award programs are automatically considered for publication. In addition, we are also interested in publishing teacher reflections on teaching writing or on an effective writing assignment with accompanying student examples. It is our sincere hope that in addition to celebrating the excellence of writing of Minnesota's students, the issue will provide teachers with models to use with their own students.
