Each year, Cibola High School's Creative Writing Program invites students to express themselves through their writing. This year, we held a writing contest to open this opportunity to the entire school. As anticipated, we had Short Stories, Poetry, and Script submissions from many fabulous writers. Their work is included in our anthology. We have an amazing group of talented young writers, and I am proud and pleased to share their compelling work.
Have you been misunderstood or judged? What fears are you working to overcome? Can science and technology go too far? If you had the opportunity to go back, how would you fix a past mistake? While these questions were inspired by the themes in Mary Shelley'sFrankenstein, a book written in the nineteenth century, they are still as thought-provoking and relevant as ever. In this collection, the seniors of Burton High School in San Francisco set out to answer them in the form of personal narratives, fictional short stories, and letters. From intimate reflections about their own lived experiences, to the development of creative and futuristic worlds, these young authors meditate on our past, present, and future--and the results prove illuminating for all. Inside this book, you'll also find resources for teachers, including a curriculum guide aligned with current English Language Arts and Literacy standards, plus loads of inspiration for any writer, thinker, or educator.

From 826 Valencia, the innovative teaching center located in San Francisco, comes an anthology of stories and essays by 54 juniors and seniors at San Francisco’s Mission High School. We’ve all heard the adage, “do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” but there are many facets to this “Golden Rule.” Forming the fundamental moral basis of many religions, and applicable to global issues, street violence, and interpersonal relationships among friends and family, this principle is a guiding beacon for moral behavior and a fascinating starting point for these impassioned essays and short stories. These young voices explore the Golden Rule in thoughtful ways, bringing their unique and varied perspectives to an age-old notion of social interaction.
