My Take
This is a very creative way to inspire students to write. In the classroom, students might feel insecure about their writing, but this source inspires creativity for students who use it which will lead to confidence in writing. Using this source at a young age will prove to be beneficial to a students ability to develop a story in the later years of their schooling.
How I Use It
If I were younger, I would use this app to develop some kind of story. At a young age, I was so interested in trying to write a book, but I never got far. This resource was exactly what I was looking for in terms of learning how to write a novel.

Can you imagine leaving an English class with a manuscript?
Writers write! To simply practice writing "enough" (to a pre-set word goal), will create in students a feeling of success that will change their whole relationship with writing as well as assignments. They'll never be "afraid" of a page requirement again - AND - by writing to a count goal instead of for a pre-established rubric of quality, they'll actually produce great work! Giving students practice with writing and giving them "credit" or calling it successful simply because they accomplished this standard, will forever impact their relationship with writing and assignments.

I LOVED all of the resources this sit has to offer. I did not love the fact that the only way I could add students to my online group was to have them register individually with an email. A lot of my 5th/6th graders do not have email addresses. While I will definitely use this website again with my high school students, I will only use the resources from this website with the younger students.

Everything you and your students need to get the most out of National Novel Writing Month.
This is a great, very specific teaching tool for a unit that can revolutionize writing in your classroom. Students will learn things by writing a novel in November, about writing, about fiction and about novels specifically, that they can't learn any other way. The hands-on lessons they can learn with this project will revolutionize what they learn about writing--they won't be the same at the end of the month.
