Title: No Fame No Game
Author: Sarah Ballard
Genre: Teen Issues
Pages: 3 1/2 pages
Mentor Texts: I read a book where a nerd became famous and I thought, if she made that much of a change, she might as well become famous. So I decided to write my story about that topic, a nerd becoming famous.
Audience: Teenage Girls
Writing Process: I wrote my first draft, and it wasn't very long so I decided to make it longer. Then, ms. staff told me to add more dialog, and then it became 3 1/2 pages long.
Publishing Process: I made a cover on photo shop with a nerd and pretty girl. They were supposed to represent Amy and Halley, in my story. Then I put the cover, the dedication and the final draft of the story into a binder thing and that made it look very professional-looking.

How will your get your story out to your larger audience? I was impressed by the lead you took in transforming the teen issues section of our classroom for the Exhibition. You really drew in your audience. Were you satisfied with the audience you shared your story with? Where would you like to put your final published version so that it can reach the maximum audience or so that you can share it with your family and friends? Were you satisfied with your final story? I was impressed by the dialogue you added! What motivated you to add the extra features in your final draft?
