Several Additions To “Writing For An Authentic Audience” List
I’ve made several recent additions to The Best Places Where Students Can Write For An “Authentic Audience” list. They include:
Travel DK, which lets you easily create your own online travel guides including writing reviews of attractions (Thanks to Diana Dell for the tip).
Discover America, which is a similar travel site that lets you write reviews (obviously, just places in the U.S.).
I’ve posted about Culture Crossing before. It’s a wonderful social studies resource, but I neglected to include that it would be a great opportunity for authentic writing, too. It’s a unique resource for information about different countries. It provides some basic demographics, but it also shares details about communication style, dress, gestures, etc. It’s unlike any other source of information about countries that’s on the web, and accepts user contributions. Certainly, English Language Learners are well-positioned to write about their native countries.
