This year we want you to write us a news story – not just any old story though – we want

you to take a story you know well, then turn it into a news story of no more than 300 words

and send it to us. We want clever headlines, snappy introductions and, if you wish, some

pictures of the action – as though it were a real story breaking the news.




SLEEPING

WOMAN AWAKES AFTER 100

YEARS

Once upon a time there lived a king

and queen who were very unhappy

because they had no children. But

at last a little daughter was born,

and their sorrow was turned to joy.

All the bells in the land were rung

to tell the glad tidings.

The king gave a christening feast

so grand that the like of it had

never been known. He invited all

the fairies he could find in the

kingdom—there were seven of

them—to come to the christening

as godmothers. He hoped that each

would give the princess a good gift.

When the christening was over,

the feast came. Before each of

the fairies was placed a plate with

a spoon, a knife, and a fork—all

pure gold. But alas! As the fairies

were about to seat themselves at

the table, there came into the hall

a very old fairy who had not been

invited. She had left the kingdom

fifty years before and had not been

seen or heard of until this day.

The king at once ordered that a

plate should be brought for her,

but he could not furnish a gold one

such as the others had. This made

the old fairy angry, and she sat

there muttering to herself.

A young fairy who sat near

overheard her angry threats.

This good godmother, fearing the

old fairy might give the child an

unlucky gift, hid herself behind a

curtain. She did this because she

wished to speak last and perhaps

be able to change the old fairy’s

gift.

At the end of the feast, the youngest

fairy stepped forward and said,

“The princess shall be the most

beautiful woman in the world.”

The second said, “She shall have a

temper as sweet as an angel.”

The third said, “She shall have a

wonderful grace in all she does or

says.”

The fourth said, “She shall sing like

a nightingale.”

The fifth said, “She shall dance like

a flower in the wind.”

The sixth said, “She shall play

such music as was never heard on

earth.”

Then the old fairy’s turn came.

Shaking her head spitefully, she

said,

“When the princess is seventeen

years old, she shall prick her finger

with a spindle, and-she-shall-die!”

At this all the guests trembled, and

many of them began to weep. The

king and queen wept loudest of all.

Just then the wise young fairy

came from behind the curtain and

said: “Do not grieve, O King and

Queen. Your daughter shall not die.

I cannot undo what my elder sister

has done; the princess shall indeed

prick her finger with the spindle,

but she shall not die. She shall fall

into sleep that will last a hundred

years. At the end of that time, a

king’s son will find her and awaken

her.”

Immediately all the fairies

vanished.

The king, hoping to save his

child even from this misfortune,

commanded that all spindles

should be burned. This was done,

but it was all in vain.

One day when the princess was

seventeen years of age, the king

and queen left her alone in the

castle. She wandered about the

palace and at last came to a little

room in the top of a tower. There an

old woman—so old and deaf that

she had never heard of the king’s

command—sat spinning.

“What are you doing, good old

woman?” asked the princess.

“I am spinning, my pretty child.”

“Ah,” said the princess. “How do

you do it? Let me see if I can spin

also.”

She had just taken the spindle in

her hand when, in some way, it

pricked her finger. The princess

dropped down on the floor. The old

woman called for help, and people

came from all sides, but nothing

could be done.

When the good young fairy heard

the news, she came quickly to

the castle. She knew that the

princess must sleep a hundred

years and would be frightened if

she found herself alone when she

awoke. So the fairy touched with

her magic wand all in the palace

except the king and the queen.

Ladies, gentlemen, pages, waiting

maids, footmen, grooms in the

stable, and even the horses—she

touched them all. They all went to

sleep just where they were when

the wand touched them. Some

of the gentlemen were bowing

to the ladies, the ladies were

embroidering, the grooms stood

currying their horses, and the cook

was slapping the kitchen boy.

The king and queen departed from

the castle, giving orders that no one

was to go near it. This command,

... AND MAKES SURPRISE RECOVERY

WITH LOVE’S TRUE KISS

HOW DO YOU WRITEA NEWS STORY?A good news story is short and simple.

Its headline should sum up the essential part of the story, and so should the introduction.

Each sentence should reveal a new aspect of the story. When writing the first sentence, think about why you are writing this story. What makes it interesting?

In the example of Sleeping Beauty, it’s that she wakes up after 100 years. In the example of Cinderella, it’s that she finds her true love after losing her glass slipper. Also, don’t forget the five w’s; who, what, when, where, why? (and also ‘how’).

In the example of Little Red Riding Hood:

An 11 year old girl (who) saved her grandmother’s life from a wild wolf (what) yesterday (when) in Epping Forest (where) after he tried to gobble the old lady up for dinner (why). The girl managed to escape and alert a local woodsman who came to their aid (how).

If you’d like some more tips, a good guide to writing news stories is on the BBC website.

BOOKS AND COPYRIGHT: CAN I USE SOMEONE ELSE’S STORY?Copyright means that if someone writes an original story it becomes their property and they have the right, as an author, to decide how someone might use that story. For example, in real life when people want to adapt an author’s work to create something new, like turning a book into a film script, they will need to seek their permission, usually by contacting their publisher or agent, and pay them a fee.

Don’t worry, you don’t need to do that for this competition. Why? See the entry covering page.

COMPETITION DEADLINEYour story must reach us by 25 May 2018. Send your competition entry to:

Carnegie Shadowing Scheme Competition, The Communications Department, Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society1st Floor, Barnard’s Inn, 86 Fetter Lane, London, EC4A 1EN.

Or, alternatively, by email to: [email protected]. Unfortunately, late entries cannot be counted, so please give yourself enough time for posting. Please send your entries by either post or email, not both.

FURTHER INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS

WHO ARE CILIP?The Chartered Institute of Librarians and Information Professionals (CILIP) is a charity and is the leading professional body for librarians, information specialists and knowledge managers in the United Kingdom.

What is the CILIP Carnegie Shadowing Scheme and how do I sign up?

The CILIP Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Shadowing Scheme is administered by librarians and information professionals and brings thousands of young people in schools, public libraries and other reading environments together to form book groups in which the members read and discuss the short-listed titles for the CILIP Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medals, following the same criteria as the award judges.

A two-year Open University study, commissioned in association with the Carnegie UK Trust, has shown that the shadowing scheme is an excellent way to encourage reading for pleasure in young people and highlights the unique role that librarians play.

Find out more and sign up at: www.ckg.org.uk.
