UNDERWATER
EXPLORERS WRITING COMPETITION.
Announcing
the first M& M Writing Contest!
The
children of Rooms 401, 402 and 403 are all working very hard on their personal
narratives. They are all recounting a fascinating and thrilling tale of
underwater exploration and discovery. Their stories will culminate in the
discovery of a new species of underwater life!
We
will be working on completing this tale over the next few weeks. During
the first weeks of November, the personal narrative essays will be collected
and presented to a panel of independent judges. The judges will be asked
to select 3 winners per class and 1 overall winner from all of the
entries. Special prizes will be awarded to all of our winners.
All
of the participants will be part of a very special ceremony taking place in
November. Unfortunately, I cannot share any more details for fear of
ruining the surprise.
Please
feel free to help inspire our budding novelists by:
•
researching
oceanography and underwater habitats.
•
discuss
great adjectives to help describe their fantastical discovery.
•
discuss
seamless transitions in their narratives through the use of really great
phrases.
•
discuss
story elements like a good beginning (introduction), an action-packed middle
and well-rounded conclusion.
I
am really looking forward to reading all of the wonderful stories that will be
coming my way!
Miss
Lopez
