Student Writing

One World Education believes that students should write to be read, in addition to earning a grade. We select and publish around 1% of the exemplary writing from Student Ambassadors who completed the One World Program in order to model grade-level writing and to create a forum for peer-to-peer learning. Additionally, every student-authored essay is accompanied by a Reflection Experience, which is a series of content and reading comprehension assessments.

Suspension Bias

The Struggle to Keep Abortion Legal

Student Ambassador: Mina Swaminathan | Ambassador Class: 2017 | Grade: 10

The Right to Privacy

Student Ambassador: Jamal Daniels | Ambassador Class: 2017 | Grade: 8

Habitats, Deforestation, and You

Tampon Tax

Mass Incarceration of Black Males

Student Ambassador: Makaio McCaskill | Ambassador Class: 2017 | Grade: 10
