Many students do know about Harry Potter and have read most if not all of the books. I do wonder however, about the students who have not read Harry Potter. Those students are likely not going to be very engaged.
At first I thought this could be a great lesson plan to use in a classroom. On the surface the idea seems like a great way to get students involved in the writing process. The topic is one that most students will at least have heard about and many students will have read the books. This lesson plan could work very well in a classroom. It is a lot more exciting than many of the writing topics I ever got in school. The problem is that it is not a writing workshop lesson. This artifact is one I probably will not use in a classroom, but it does show an interesting way to use the writing process in a classroom that engages students.
