A explanation and Chapter 1
This novel is going to be written by students from around the world. This book will be published on CreateSpace (Amazon.com) in June 2018. ANY STUDENT from around the world is invited to submit a chapter. This book is a GLOBAL COLLABORATION amongst students who do not know each other, but share a common humanity. To submit, simply send me a 3 to 5 page chapter based on the idea below.
Here's the idea. Fifteen year old Lucas Conrad Fitzsimmons III is a sophomore in high school at Sojourner Truth High School in Chicago. One day, Lucas (His friends call him "Fitz") is bored out of his mind in an English class as his teacher explains the difference between "it's" and "its." Fitz pulls out his phone and while he is looking for an interesting app to play with, a pop-up ad comes on to his screen. It says, "Are you sitting in a boring classroom? Click Yes or No."
Fitz clicks "yes" and before he knows it he has downloaded a new app called "ALCATW" (A Lot of class around the world). Without reading the fine print, Fitz agrees to a 30 day free trial of the app. As soon as he clicks on the app, he is immediately
Your job is to write a 3 to 5 page story about a new student from the United States who comes into your classroom after he is introduced by your teacher as a new foreign exchange student. You write your story from Conrad's point of view. That means you write the story as if YOU were 15 year old Conrad Fitz from Chicago, IL and you are suddenly in your classroom. What would that be like?
Imagine how Conrad would adjust. Who would talk to him in your class? Who would make fun of him? Who would help him understand your culture? Would he be liked? Because he couldn't speak your language, would someone in your class help him interpret what was going on? Have Conrad spend one day in your community. Not just school, but after school as well.
RULES: 1) Make sure Conrad doesn't die.
2) Conrad will spend one day in your school/country and then when he wakes up the next day he will be in someone else's chapter. So, you should end your chapter at the end of the day or after Conrad goes to sleep (or is knocked unconscious).
3) Conrad is not violent
4) Conrad can be scared, but he can also be amused
5) Conrad can fall into love or deep like, but it can only last one day
6) Conrad wears typical clothes of your country.
