Home learning Due 23/5

Your home learning for the next two weeks is to write a short story to enter into the BNZ Literary Awards for the Young Writers category.

You can read about the competition here.
I expect to see something next week when your home learning is usually due in so that I know you have made a decent start (or get a completed draft done so I can give you feed back and then you can spend the next week fixing it up).

If you have no idea where to start I have some story spinners you can use in class to give you prompts (pop in as I don't see you guys for a while) or try googling writing ideas or story starters.

    1. Write a story and post it on your blog - I will give you feedback and you can edit it before we submit it for the competition. Ok? :)

  2. Can I enter my "Aliens and Weddings" story? I think it is really creative. And my dad thinks so too!

    1. Yep, sure. It probably needs some editing and make sure it fits the criteria for the competition, like the word length.

    1. Ok, thanks for letting me know. If you find it bring it to school and use one of the computers in our classroom.
