Best of Summer Literacy Experience 2023

We asked students to engage with literacy across platforms.

Check out what students produced to celebrate literacy this summer.

Option 1: Read a book and create a digital project to share.

Option 2: Engage with storytelling through Media

Some students choose to engage with -or- curate media collections, many of which are now made by other Sequoia Students.

We ask rising 9th & 10th graders to engage; 11th & 12th to curate. Each collection includes:

  • a podcast
  • news articles (access the New York Times for free with the @seq.org address) or use our Gale database
  • Academic article from JSTOR/Art from ArtStor
  • Connect your public library card to Kanopy for films
  • social media threads that are reliable
  • infographics from databases

Once they submit their experience, students earn a digital badge to include in their signature.
