Greatest Living Writers Project, 7-12

http://edcommunity.apple.com/ali/story.php?itemID=10734
"Greatest Living Writers Project" from the Apple Learning Interchange features exclusive video poetry readings and writing advice from many of the world's greatest writers such as Poet Laureates, Pulitzer Prize-winners, National Poetry Slam Champions, best-selling novelists, playwrights, and musicians. This resource not only preserves and shares the voices, writings, and teachings of literary icons, but also brings these top writers into the classrooms through on-demand video as a means to inspire today's students to share their own writing.
As a companion to the “Greatest Living Writers Project”, teachers will also want to go to TeachingBooks.net (http://www.teachingbooks.net/home/), an online database provided by Heartland. Type in your school email address for full access to the author and illustrator interviews and programs, book guides, book readings, thematic booklists, book awards lists, and valuable Web links.
