One thing that I remember from my high school days of publication is my 10th grade English teacher, Mrs. Rossman. Every single one of her students in all of her classes had to write some type of love poem for Valentine's Day with the knowledge that they were going to be "published" once we completed them. Personally, I know I worked a little bit harder on my particular poem because I was worried what all my other classmates would think. Once the assignment was completed, Mrs. Rossman had a group of students arrange them and put them together in a pamphlet or magazine. At the end of the school year they were dispersed. Sadly enough, I still have that pamphlet 10 years later because I thought it was pretty cool. We never published anything locally besides the school newspaper, The Cats Meow. But I think it would be an awesome opportunity for the students to engage in.
