Fellow Michigander Doug Hart is helping his IB students with an e-zine project where his students write essays and opinion pieces about their daily life, and then invite IB'ers in other places to comment. Family life, dating, and curfews might have been a little cliché if it weren't for one thing.
The school is in Ramallah, Palestine, where the life of a teenager is anything but a cliché.
The name of the 'zine is Behind the Wall, and their third edition just came out. I was happy to see how so many students from other countries have started participating. But what really impressed me was the acknowledgments page and the long list of schools and individuals in more than a dozen countries who have contributed to this project.
Congratulations and tebrikler (as we say in Turkish) to Doug and everyone else involved!
