Schools can choose to sell the books as a fundraiser so students can experience the entire publishing process.
Of particular significance, ClassroomAuthors® addresses the nations need to improve student writing and reading skills. When collaborative publishing is adopted into a classrooms’ curriculum, students apply more effort to their writing. Recognizing that their work will be published and read by peers and the community, students sense their thoughts can make a difference. Research has shown that "not only does publishing encourage students to write by creating purpose and vision, but it also serves to improve writing skills" (Ensio & Boxeth, 2000).
ClassroomAuthors® encourages proven writing strategies by offering teachers a publishing process that requires: Genre selection; Concept creation; Project planning; Individual writing; Collaborative writing; Revision; Proofing; Editing; Peer review; Design; Print production; and finally Technology integration.
Since the nation’s educational system has placed great emphasis on improving student writing in elementary through university classrooms, tremendous growth opportunities exist for the system. ClassroomAuthors® will generate its revenue from the sales of books printed. The books written and sold by the student- authors will be cherished and forever document their ideas, thoughts and creativity.
