Cambridge Story Competition

Today, I thought I’d share a link to the Cambridge Story Competition as I think it’s a great idea.

From now till April 30th, students can send their picture and written stories and the selected stories will be both published online and in a book for children around the world to read.  What a wonderful idea!

You can read all about the competition here:

As well as the instructions for entering the competition, you can find some great activities and tips for working on stories in 2 posts on the Cambridge Blog:

Teacher Tips #1: Preparing students to write a story

and

Teacher Tips #2: Preparing students to write a story

Both posts have some great templates to download to help your students work on their stories:  5 point star, character brainstorm and planning the events.
