After spending a few days reading and critiquing children’s literature, the seniors begin the process of crafting their own children's stories. The seniors work diligently on their projects and are conscientious about content, structure, characterization, illustrations, and use of rhetorical devices. The project culminates with an opportunity for the seniors to share their stories with kindergarten children.
2017-2018 Senior Literary Exchange will be the eight-year for this project.

Senior Metaphor Project 2nd Grade and 12th Grade English Class
Dr. Bonnie Gerard, UD English Lead Project Teacher. The senior English metaphor project with the lower division came about as an idea for how we as a class could share what we are learning about conceptual metaphor and how it shapes thought with the broader community. The second graders have a poetry unit in the spring, and so by coordinating with the second-grade team of teachers, we were able to create an interactive cross-divisional lesson plan that would benefit both the second graders and the seniors in content, skills and character development. This project has been implemented on a yearly basis since 2005.
