WANT SOME TIPS? Write alongside your students! This will help motivate them, plus we want to read teachers’ writing too. Carve out some time in the school day to do the challenge. You’ll need to allow for 7 minutes for your students to write, but you might also want to allow for time to explain the task, to watch some videos for inspiration (like watching Mark Haddon or Frank Cottrell-Boyce explaining the activity) or talk through some ideas. A paper and pen are all that is needed! If you’d like to print off a #247Challenge activity sheet (which explains the task) you can find that here. (If you’re setting the task for remote learning, attach the #247Challenge activity sheet and simply ask students to send their writing to you.) We want to get EVERYONE writing creatively for National Writing Day 24th June 2020 so we’ve created the #247challenge – a quick, fun and easy challenge to get your students’ creative cogs turning! The challenge has three simple rules: 1. Write a story or poem in 24 words. 2. Start with the words ‘One day’. 3. You only have 7 minutes to write! We would love for you to share your work on National Writing Day using the hashtag #247challenge and #NationalWritingDay. We want as many 24/7 stories or poems out in the world as possible, because we believe that writing is fun, it makes you feel good, and it’s important for everyone to have a chance to express themselves. #247CHALLENGE #247CHALLENGE TEACHERS' GUIDE WHAT IS THE #247CHALLENGE?
