Fan fiction allows students to practice writing by using pre-existing characters, plots, worlds and dialogue from books and movies. This helps students interact with ideas and practice articulating them effectively. Fan fiction also helps students meet Common Core standards related to reading literature and demonstrating understanding of textual details. Suggested classroom activities include having students write stories where their favorite characters meet and interact.
