St. Elizabeth
School 's focus this year is on increasing
student literacy across all grade levels. Taking
a cross disciplinary approach, the Literacy
Alive project will wed digital and real worlds
through the students' creative work in language
arts, the arts, and social studies. Using
eBooks, multi-media and age-appropriate
software, students will become active, engaged
learners of language. They will not only see new
dimensions in reading through ICT, but also
become electronic authors and publishers of
their own work. Our website will showcase
original works created by students for students.
The project will consist of many components
with different classes creating each section:
