Different Writing Styles: through the Media Justice Grant from the Crossroads Foundation

These pics are of a training about different writing styles.  As part of the  training series funded through the Media Justice Grant
from the Crossroads Foundation, the youth were able to hear from college students on the imporantce of strong writing skills.
The training was formatted as a collective intelligence excercise that used their previous knowledge learned in school as a
platform to link writing as a social and environmental justice tool.  This training took place April 11, 2008
