The National Writing Project is thrilled to announce to educators across the country that it has launched a Writing Our Future youth publishing project in partnership with Citizen Film, the makers of the PBS documentary American Creed<\/i>. This project invites educators to bring the film to their classroom or learning center and to support young people in joining the film\u2019s conversation through their own writing, art, and media responses.<\/p>\n

Teens (13+) and young adults are invited to share at the youth publishing website supported by their teachers and guided by a set of 5 prompts from the film to inspire their responses. Educators are provided guidelines for mentoring this process as well as a range of resources created by Writing Project teachers who have used this film in their own classrooms.<\/p>\n
