Architecture, foods, and arts are just a few of the sources for cultural symbols. Students use the writing process to write a 200- word cultural piece describing how an object is symbolic of the region. This cultural piece is then published on the Web for other students to read.
Write On! has five major parts: 1) Go On a Cultural Dig - Students take a journey to sites on the World Wide Web to explore the symbols of a region. 2) Dig More with Web Tools - Popular search tools help students find information on the World Wide Web. 3) Write Your Cultural Piece - Students follow the five steps of the writing process to write their cultural pieces. 4) Publish Your Piece on a Web Page - Here, students' input their cultural pieces so that they can be published on a web page. 5) View The Electronic Web Wall - This is the showcase of all the cultural pieces written by students from around the world.
