13. Getting Started: Student Success Stories (2003)
Series: Independent Studies
Authors: Frontier College
Collection: Learning Materials
Every year, Independent Studies at Frontier College publishes a book of student writing. We've been doing this for 20 years. This year, we decided to publish the results of one of our class projects.
We asked the students in our program, as part of a class assignment, to create collages with images and words that
represent how Frontier College has impacted them. Students created colour collages which are digitally reproduced as black and white illustrations in this book. Students then used their collages to write short stories about the meaning of Frontier College and the learning they have done while here. Staff, tutors and volunteers assisted the students with their work. The stories are presented
along with each student's collage.
