Worthington - Our Town

Worthington's history provided the theme for a year-long immersion (2002-2003 school year) in all the varied skills that go into the publication of a book. Kilbourne Middle School seventh and eighth grade students used Worthington Memory or another Worthington resource to locate a visual image and documentation of an event in Worthington's history. Students then were responsible for producing drawings, essays or poems about their chosen topic. The project reinforced essential skills that are taught in middle school language arts and art classes. A jury of staff and students did the final editing process of selecting work and assembling the book.
