BoomWriter Haunt

BoomWriter the innovative collaborative writing platform is launching their Online Summer Learning Clubs to help prevent "summer learning loss" and keep students engaged while school is out.  The Haunt uses the unique collaborative writing process that BoomWriter is known for.  First, a student reads a "story start" to get the beginning of a story.  Second, the student writes the following chapter using BoomWriter.  Third, the chapter is reviewed by a certified teacher and the revision process takes place.  Next, the voting begins at the end of each week and students vote on which chapter should be the next one and the winner becomes the next one in the story.  Each week this process continues until the end of the month when the story is finished and is then published.  A parent can then order a copy of the book w/ their child's name on the cover and last chapter they wrote as an alternate ending to the published story.
