This year's pupils of Gowran National School are taking on the 100 Word Challenge. This is a challenge set up by a teacher in the UK and has inspired many children across the globe to write!
As the name of the challenge suggests, pupils are provided with a prompt on which to focus their writing, with an approximate limited of one hundred words. (Only the teacher (me!) moderates this so it is not a strict rule that is enforced!). Sometimes, editing your work to delete the less important information is a great way to improve the overall standard of writing.
This week's prompt is difficult!
It is to write anything you like that comes from your imagination after seeing/studying the following picture:

This week's prompt is difficult!
It is to write anything you like that comes from your imagination after seeing/studying the following picture:
So within your 100WC, you need to reference something from this picture (e.g. warriors/soliders). They can be attacking or protecting. You don't have to know anything about the truth of the photo. Just let your imagination flow! It can be as random as who came to your birthday party or a dream you had about starting in a new school where all the teachers were like robot warriors. My main advice is to write about what you know. So if you love video games, could you be in a virtual world where you must survive their attack? What powers do they have? How can you protect yourself?
If anyone would like to research the exact historical connection of this cultural artwork, google 'Terracotta Warriors'.. it's a very interesting part of Chinese history!
It is not very strict so don't worry too much if this is your first time to do it! If you wish to submit a story, email MsTighe17@gmail.com. The stories will not be edited but will be read before they are posted. For the stories to be posted on the 100 Word Challenge website (see link below), the deadline is Friday at 8pm. No deadline for a story to be added to the school blog. If this is too difficult, just go back and do last weeks. A new prompt comes each Sunday evening.
