S3 Holiday Homework

By the time you come back (have a happy holiday!), you should produce a very rough draft of your NGC story.

That's it!

Use the work we did today on character--think about it. You may not explicitly include all the details you created for your character, but it'll help that you 'know' them.

Neil Gunn Writing Competition 2012-13

Hi everyone,

Here is the link to the Neil Gunn Writing Competition for this year:

http://www.highland.gov.uk/leisureandtourism/libraries/neilgunn/

We'll be making a big effort this year to make sure we put our best pieces of writing forward for the competition. The aim is, of course, to make a clean SWEEP!

The theme this year for secondary pupils S3-6:

“Perhaps the only real treasures he possessed were his secrets.”

from Young Art and Old Hector by Neil Gunn

Writers are invited to interpret this theme in any way they wish.

The piece of writing does not have to be set in Scotland.

Read carefully the rules and the information about the theme (see the website above).

Maximum: 1000 words.
Deadline: mid-Feb, so we can organise our entries for the March competition deadline.

Get thinking. Get planning. Get writing.

Then rewrite.

You can do it!
