About Projects

Youth Forum offers two types of projects:

  • Independent Projects are designed for use in your classroom and do not require partnership with another school.
     

  • Collaborative Projects include activities that involve working with teachers and students in another school.

Projects use different templates, depending on the type of information to be communicated:

  • Forum: A project that allows students to exchange views on a given topic through a message board. Students may post messages which respond directly to the topic, or may reply to messages posted by other students, initiating a variety of discussions all stemming from the original starting topic. See an example. [LINK]
     

  • Newsletter: A project that allows students to create a collection of written pieces: stories, essays, reviews, interviews, etc. These pieces may contain any type of written material, and one image or downloadable file each. See an example. [LINK]
     

  • Virtual Gallery: A project that allows students to create a linear sequence of "slides," each of which can contain text and an image or downloadable file. See an example. [LINK]
