The Project
After a group of social-oriented scientists ran a test trial using college students, a new method intended for counseling, relieving stress and dealing with depression came about. Of course, whether anyone actually cares to believe that or not, it's the story that they gave to the school board that caused the counselors from your high-school to ragtag forces with the English department to create a new project that is being slapped down onto your desk on the third day of school.
This project -- "Dear Anonymous" -- is exactly what it sounds like: you will be sending and receiving letters anonymously. Well, okay, not letters, but e-mails and IMs. And this "anonymous" person is someone from your school who is chosen at random: gender, age and class aren't taken into account: anyone who is in a English class will receive this assignment.
The rules and regulations of the project are simple: you are to stay in contact with your partner throughout the entire year and log your conversations in a journal. At the very end of the year, your journal and a final feedback sheet will be submitted as your final grade for the entire year. A student will receive a zero if he or she does not stay in contact with his or her partner or even worse -- if said student or their partner break the rule of anonymity. Students are required to use a screen name and fake alias when talking to their partner that must be used at all times. This means that you can be paired with your brother, your best friend, your girlfriend or your worst enemy without even knowing about it -- the possibilities are endless! And so are the potential romances, drama and so on.
The project is intended to be used as therapeutic use, with hopes of self-discovery and possible inspiration! Of course, that could easily be a bucket of trash that your English teacher tries to sell to you, but you never know what might happen. . .

Character Sheet
On the third day of school, after you learn of the project's existence, you are given a simple sheet by your English teacher that you are required to fill out. Apparently, they're going to keep it in a folder for the entire year and give it back to you at the end to submit with your final project. Whether or not you take it seriously, well, that's up to you.
