Examples of HUT student writings can be read on the HUT writing project newsgroup. The Cities Project Since the summer '94 semester, the class has worked on The Cities Project, which explores student experiences using the theme of the city. In the Cities Project students collaborate within their class and with students in other cities around the country and around the world. They explore various aspects of the city in which they live and share that information with their partners overseas. In addition, they react to the information they receive from their overseas parterns creating an ongoing dialogue.
Students communicate primarily by email.
Although the specific organization varies from semester to semester, students develop ongoing communication with partners in a number of cities, in the United States and abroad, learning about each other and comparing life in their cities. Video presentations of city themes. Final publication of a multi-city newsletter. Students become experts, researching life in their cities and sharing their findings with students in their groups aboard. Within structured writing options, students are free to write on whatever interests them.
