Digital storytelling provides immigrant secondary students a meaningful voice—weaving pasts, presents, and futures. This session describes one such project, the composing process involved, and the partnership of classroom, school district, university, and the Hudson Valley Writing Project. Participants will have an opportunity to examine student work and discuss implications for teaching and learning.
