The
Process of
Creating
The Carlos Rosario School’s literary-arts magazine is an original
collection of adult basic education students’ writing and art. This
collection came out of an initiative to increase student reading and
access to high-interest reading material in 2008. Our annual publication
is produced by a student editor, trained on Adobe InDesign CS6, with
teacher support. All students are encouraged to submit their best work
throught a school-wide multilingual campaign, resulting in over 500
submissions annually!
Through rounds of review, the student editor selects which submissions
to include in the magazine and collaborates with the teacher advisor
on all aspects of the magazine production, including layout, design,
promotion and distribution. We are proud of In Our Own Words for
its contribution to the community of adult learners and for capturing the
multicultural, adult learner perspective and spirit.
