Grade 6 · Writing · Lesson 16

Publish narratives in a class anthology

A class anthology is a published collection of narratives written by every student in the class. When you publish your story in an anthology, you are no longer just completing an assignment — you are becoming a real author whose work will be read by classmates, teachers, and families. Publishing requires careful preparation: editing for errors, formatting for a reader, and adding the features that make a book feel complete.
