Student Writing: “Love Planet” by Kaiya Piper
My planet has 1,000 people. They love to hug and kiss. The grown ups are 21 and older. The kids are 8 and younger. You go straight from being 8 to being 21. The Queen of Love has powers to save the lovers. They eat chicken and pizza and fried chicken and pork chops.
When the cloud strikes, they have Mad Day. When they get struck by lightening, the lovers’ faces change to the darkest red ever. When Mad Day comes everything is dull and everybody fights with each other. The cry until the end of Sad Day. They get sad and happy and mad and the lovers say sorry after mad day and the lovers cry and cry.
They cry that they will never stop until Sad Day is over and when Happy Day comes they all hug and kiss. The lovers forgive each other. The lovers forget the mad and sad thing, and they stay happy. The queen said I’m happy and she kissed all of the lovers. Mad Day never came again. They have been happy for 9,000 years.

Student Writing: “Revenge” by Midley Toyo
My name is Lord Cobra. One day, I was robbing a bank. Then, I when I went outside, I got struck by lightning. It felt good because I was a little evil, and I kind of liked it. And because I was robbing when the lightning struck, the robbing and the electricity combined into a superpower. Then I kept getting superpowers. That’s when I noticed what my real power was: It was taking other people’s powers. They would still have their powers, but I would have it too. I chose to be a villain. My villain name would be something with robber in it. “I got it! Mad Robber,” I said, “It is a perfect evil name.” It was just a perfect name for an evil, heartless villain like me.
