Comments on: Even Seventh-Grade Students Are Writing White Papers! http://www.writingwhitepapers.com/blog/2007/02/23/young-students-tackle-white-papers/ Everything about writing and marketing white papers Fri, 10 Sep 2010 09:02:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Ravin http://www.writingwhitepapers.com/blog/2007/02/23/young-students-tackle-white-papers/#comment-60634 Ravin Tue, 23 Sep 2008 00:28:32 +0000 http://www.writingwhitepapers.com/blog/2007/02/23/young-students-tackle-white-papers/#comment-60634 Amazing, almost a year and a half has gone by and I still think 7th grade was yesterday... I am now a freshmen in high school and my assignment was something I sure did enjoy: Writing a white paper. My teacher also brought in some copies of "Writing White Papers." Let me just thank you again for writing such a great book, it has helped me all throughout the paper.

In the context of a Mini-Society simulation, they generated word-of-mouth advertising that ultimately led to increased sales and interest in their products. Since their background knowledge doesn’t yet include a sophisticated awareness of mortgage or financial services, I’m very impressed by their adaptations that appealed to their target audience.
