Yes. There are many ways to incorporate NaNoWriMo into your curriculum. For younger groups, 50,000 words (or less) could be used as a classroom goal, for which each student has a personal word-count contribution goal and works on his/her own story, or each student contributes to a single collaborative story. One class last year met at lunchtime and narrated a group story, while the teacher transcribed the entire thing on a computer. (Now that’s dedication!) Another class wrote novels in small groups of four to five authors.
