Most of the student in my class are seniors and instead of wanting to write there own mini book and have fun with their imagination they would rather do what we've been doing for nearly twelve damn years and read another book to finish senior year. What is wrong with people?

Turn your idea into a comedy (in the modern sense of the word) play and bring it in one day near the end of the semester. Pass out the sheets to everyone in class before the teacher gets there and then insist that there is an impromptu performance. I did this with a Shakespearean adaptation of Shrek (which I wrote) in a creative writing class because the teacher mentioned once that he hated Shrek, which encouraged everyone to compare everything to Shrek as much as possible to get on his nerves.

It was a huge hit, everyone laughed, and we burned the entire the entire class doing the play and discussing it. The best part was when the teacher asked me where I had gotten it (the play), meaning that he did not believe that one of his students could have written it. It was genuinely a great feeling to laugh and say, "what do you mean? I wrote this!"

Keep in mind that I was already very popular in the class, so the class lobbied on my side to do this, somewhat against the wishes of the teacher.

I can post the play if you'd like.
