Students begin a the planning process for their novel in October, write in November, and publish in May. They collaborate with the Art classes to have a cover for their novel created.

It's worth writing

The students used Google+ to collaborate with illustrators from Art 3 Extensions. The students met face-to-face one time and then had to communicate using email and Google Docs. The authors had to approve a thumbnail sketch of the cover before the illustrator could complete it. It gave all of the students a great real world collaborative experience.

Students joined the challenge and stayed connected using our class NaNo site.
