Poor teacher that has to read and grade them.....
Ok, I'm going to say what everyone else is thinking. Not a chance that a competent teachers tells 9th graders in a typical school to sit down and write a novel in a month. It can't effectively be done, unless s/he is giving busy work. I know how much pre- writing goes into a short story. I can only imagine the time necessary to teach it for a novel.
Why do y'all think that this is bull?I second your bull-call and raise you a catfish.
For starters the assignment is more than some professional need to do.Why do y'all think that this is bull?

I think that was someone different with a similar name. Ended up being a guy?Isn't this the same person as before? That wanted to "edit" things?
Yeah, I know. Pretty sure this is the same guy.I think that was someone different with a similar name. Ended up being a guy?
I thought that at first but I do not believe this to be the same person based on a pm I was involved in.Yeah, I know. Pretty sure this is the same guy.

I think it's roughly equivalent to my dissertation...that took the better part of 18-24 months to write and defend.Honestly, 45 000/60 000 are huge. My master's thesis is shorter than that, and I vastly exceeded the required amount. It's hard to believe that 9th graders would get assignments like that. Writing takes a looooot of time (planning, writing, rewriting, proofreading, rewriting some more, etc). Besides, I can't imagine a teacher having the time to properly supervise the students' work (and if all this writing is unsupervised, then it's the most useless assignment ever...) and then read/grade everything. Even reading 45 000 words takes hours...
As in the gym? Yikes.are y'all worried she's going to write a tell-all expose' on CEA? i don't understand the worry and suggestion of binding contracts for interviewing people. if the girl wanted to write a juicy story, i'm sure she could dig in the archives of the boards a bit and find more than enough information worth writing about without interviewing a parent.
do i think a novel is actually a high school assignment? no. not at all. but i'm not really sure what all the fuss is about? unless she's that girl who wrote the tell-all about Illinois cheer and sold it on amazon.
You didn't hear of that book?As in the gym? Yikes.
