There’s an essay contest being sponsored by author Brian Leaf. He has written a book called Defining Twilight that uses Twilight as a means to prep for SAT and other standardized tests. According to his site:
“Your job is to write a creative essay of no more than 1,000 words that incorporates these eight words.
You can write Twilight fan fiction or an entirely original essay.
Judging: Each essay will be judged based on:
- correct and effective use of the eight vocabulary words

- correct syntax, grammar, spelling, and punctuation
Categories: There are two age categories:
1) age 13 through age 15
2) age 16 through age 18
