'Zines!
   'Zines now have an active life online (although the coolest ones are still produced by hand, like we're going to do ours).  Here are some online 'zines:

• Big Dump Truck
• Grrl
• Chickenhead
• Bamboozled
• About Teens

The Diary Project
    A very cool website that has diary entries from teenagers around the country on issues like racism, relationships, body image, violence, loss, religion, and whatever else the writers think is interesting.  You can read others' diary entries and respond to them, and you can see how people from around the country respond to what you have to say.

Photo Essays

• Every Picture Tells a Story:  This website offers an interactive workshop on visual imagery and visual narrative, using the work of Great Depression photographers Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange.
• "A Peek Inside the Doors of Webster Groves High":  A Time Magazine photo essay featuring an average high school.  Does this look like your high school?  What do you think of how the photographers and editors presented the students?
• American Odyssey:  Photos from photographer Mary Ellen Mark who doesn't sugar-coat her view of American life.  Do you know the America she presents?
• "The Million Mom March":  Photos from the recent march on Washington by mothers who are tired of gun violence and want gun control legislation.  Do the pictures make you think differently about the political issue?
