Expedition News at AE II, 2003-2004

A Newsletter for Parents, Students, and Staff About Expeditionary Learning Activities across our AE II School Community

Writing at the Core of AE II Expeditions

In this edition of the AE II ELOB Newsletter, we explore the ways that writing skills are being nurtured through the expeditionary learning methods that form the core of AE II’s “alternative” approach. The articles, interviews, stories, poems, riddles, and letters printed here provide a diverse set of examples of exploratory learning in action. We invite you to explore the contents... adore the art… peruse the pictures.  Who knows? You might learn something too!
