November is an inspiring month in Sophomore English at SUCCESS Academy. Students participate in
and write their own novels in 30 days. The final products are unpolished perfection. As author Rosaline Eves told Sophomore classes, “A draft just has to exist to be perfect.” We invite you to read these novels. Once you have finished a novel, please cast a vote by evaluating the novel. (And then read another one!) Writing a great story is its own reward, but Mrs. Jensen is so proud of the students’ efforts that she is also throwing in a $50 prize for the author with the highest average score. Please read at least TWO stories then fill out the judging form. Happy reading!
The opinions in the student novels are the opinions of the students, and not necessarily those of SUCCESS Academy.
