In Term 2, Mrs Abbott-Atchison, Leader of Literacy Integration, guided students from Years 7 to 10 through a “Write a Book in a Day” workshop, achieving outstanding results.
The students were given the following parameters:
The book had to feature at least two human characters and one non-human character.
The setting had to be in Australia, with identifiable Australian content.
The target audience was children aged 12 to 17.
The word count requirements were 2500 to 3000 words for Years 7 and 8, and 3500 to 4000 words for Years 9 and 10.
The book had to include the following ten words: alleviate, undermine, jubilance, plausible, vivacious, retaliate, culture, denounce, adamant, and revelation.
Once the books were complete, Mrs Abbott-Atchison arranged to have them bound and presented to each participant. We are proud to announce that the winners of the “Write a Book in a Day” competition were Year 10, with Year 7 as runners-up. Congratulations to all students who participated! We hope you gained valuable insights into writing and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
