[edit] Welcome to MSE

The aim of this project, Middle School Extension (MSE) is to produce a series of informative articles for children aged 11-14, designed to enrich students outside of the classroom. The subjects will be appealing to young adults, and the writing will be light and friendly. These articles will be richly illustrated with photographs, diagrams, sketches, and original drawings. The texts will also follow a format, so that each booklet, while different, will also have certain common features.

Development will happen online here at Wikibooks, and some of the finished articles may go into print. In the future, a static online version of MSE could be set up as a new project and "completed" versions will go there. However even the "completed" versions will be updated from time to time with changes posted to Wikibooks.

Please see What is MSE? for more information about this project.

It's easy to get started. Just click on an edit button and begin writing! At Middle School Extension we encourage you to be bold and edit articles.

MSE is a collaborative project and there are many ways to help.

  • Writers can help develop articles and books.
  • Experts can provide insight into the topics covered.
  • Educators and kids can provide feedback on the language and style.
  • Researchers can fact-check the articles.

You can also check the Projects bulletin board to find active projects that are looking for participants.
