Africa Stories Project
Ten ninth-grade students wrote fictional short stories, set in a continent
where they had never been: Africa. Before writing, the students studied
African culture, geography, and practiced fiction-writing as part of their
interdisciplinary studies at Huron High School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. These
stories were then published on the World Wide Web, where they were accessed
by African readers, who sent comments and suggestions to the students via
electronic mail.
