YouthVoices: New York City Writing Project
In a project funded by the National Writing Project, Youth Voices (youthvoices.net/elgg), students in journalism classes in two New York high schools and one Utah high school shared their podcast productions on blog posts (Oh, 2006). An African-American 11th grade student in New York describes how she must ask a white woman to hail a cab for her because cabs would not stop to pick her up. A ninth grade student in Salt Lake City her volunteer work in local children’s hospital and her experience of playing a harp to patients in the hospital. The students in this project enjoyed listening to each others’ podcasts, and frequently commented on their posts.
One of the teachers in the project, Chris Sloan, noted the value of having students share their writing orally as a means of enhancing their sense of voice. Based on his own experience as a musician recording his own music, Sloan noted that “‘When I started to hear my voice played back to me, I became a better writer’” (p. 4).
