A class novel is a collaborative project whose results can impressively reflect both the overall structure of the class and the individuality of the students. The students collectively decide on a theme and a basic plot, create characters, and devise storylines – ultimately resulting in individual chapters that come together to form a larger whole, the novel. For this to succeed, careful planning and adherence to fundamental steps are essential. This material volume provides the foundations for the successful execution of a novel project. The individual steps are explained in detail, organized into teaching units, and supplemented with materials and handouts. The focus is on the development of plots and characters, questions regarding perspective, dialogue, and details, as well as resources and tips.
