copyright question

Greetings! A fifth grade teacher asked my opinion on whether she had a problem with 
her National Board entry. She had her class write a story using their favorite 
character from their favorite book as the main character. She wanted to use this 
technique so students would analyze the characterization and maintain the 
personality, motives, physical traits to learn about the reciprocal nature of 
reading and writing. Would this be fair use? For those familiar with National Board 
critiquing, should she explain in her narrative that this would be fair use?  
Thanks for your advice; her deadline is looming...
