Young authors is a time when the whole school writes their story and reads it to their
class. Then the class votes for the two best stories to go into the
competition. You can chose any type of
story you want to do. You have to write three different drafts and turn each
one in so the teacher can check it. Then, the teacher sends home your final
draft so you can rewrite it. If your
story makes it through, then
the librarian can check it to decide if you are a winner or not. If you
win you get to read your story at the book cellar in Lincoln Square. After you read your book at the book cellar, you can take home a free
book. If you are not one of the two in your class you can still leave your book
in the classroom for other people in your class to read it.
