I did a project with 10th graders last year where we read Stephen King’s The Body & studied the “kids on bikes”’trope. Then my students had to pitch an idea for a TV series based on their own original concepts. This book was born from the model I used to show them what to do. #MG #SF #Unhingedpit #Q
