1) Sign up today as a Group Leader. This will register you as a Script Frenzy Young Writers Program educator (and a participant) and will create a basic profile and account for you on our site.

2) Click “My Script Frenzy” on the top menu bar and edit your "Account Settings" and "Writer Info." Tell us about your brilliant self and script-to-be. It's very important that you and your students set your time zone under "Edit Account Settings."

3) Make sure to visit the Leader's and Teacher's Lounge to download free lesson plans, gain access to the teachers-only forums, and find out more about our AlphaSmart Lending Library. You can get there by clicking the "Leaders and Teachers" link that'll appear up in the masthead when you're logged in!

4) Starting March 1, your students can set their page-count goals under "Edit Writer Info." This Page-count-goal Calculator will help you help your students set grade-appropriate page-count goals.

5) If you or any of your students are working with a partner this April, make sure to link your accounts by April 15. You can do this by entering your partner's username in the "Writing Partner" box under "My Script Frenzy"--->"Edit Writer Info." As soon as your partner does the same thing, you'll both be officially linked on each other's profiles, and when one person updates the page count for his or her script, it will change the number for both partners.

6) Order your free Script Frenzy Classroom Kit by filling out our Kit Order Form for teachers. The link to the form is in the Leader's and Teacher’s Lounge ("Leaders and Teachers"--->"Classroom Scriptwriting Kit"). Each kit comes with a beautiful Script Frenzy progress chart for your classroom and up to 35 “Lights, Camera, Frenzy!” buttons for your kids. If you have more than 35 students, you can order extra kits through the Script Frenzy Store.

7) Near March 31, host a launch party! If your students have internet access and are interested in using the resources on our site, they can create their own accounts on our website as well. Check out How Script Frenzy Works for Young Writers to help guide your kids through the sign-up process. Note: Students do not need access to computers in order to participate in Script Frenzy. Writing scripts offline with pens, pencils, and paper is just as valid.

8) On April 1, begin writing your scripts as a class! Your goal is to write a script by midnight, local time, on April 30. Also starting April 1, we’ll add two new items to everyone’s Script Frenzy profile ("My Script Frenzy"--->"Edit Writer Info."): a space for you to enter your cumulative page count for the month on the honor system, and a place for you to post an excerpt from your script in progress (totally optional, totally encouraged).

9) Write like crazy for thirty days. If you reach your page-count goal and upload a version of your script to our site for counting between April 25 and midnight, local time on April 30, you will be added to our hallowed Winner’s Page, and receive a handsome Winner’s Certificate and web icon. The adding of your name to the Honor Roll of Winners requires that you upload a version of your script to our site to be counted. We do not keep or read any scripts uploaded to our site. We'll post step-by-step instructions on how to upload your script to our team of super-powered computational robots starting on April 25.

10) On April 30, throw an “It's a Wrap!" party for your class! Print out certificates, host a reading (or a performance!), hand out stickers, eat cake—whatever you do, make sure that your students know that they may have been ordinary kids when April began, but now they’re scriptwriters!

And that’s it! If you have any questions, check out our General FAQs. For additional ideas on how to facilitate Script Frenzy in your classroom or library, please sign in and head on over to our Leader's and Teacher's Lounge.
