We will be participating in the creative writing contest this week. We will be working on this at school and everyone needs to work on this at home as well. Tomorrow after our test they will start on a rough draft - or if they start at home they need to bring it tomorrow.
All entries must begin with the following line: "I found a message in a bottle..."
Entries may be short stories, essays, or journal entries.
Entries must be handwritten (cursive only), 250 words or fewer. Word count should be posted at the end of the entry.
Entries must be of good taste.
No student or school names should appear anywhere on the entry. This information will be listed on the entry form provided. (I have this to put on the back of all writings.)
All entries are due by Friday, November 6th. The entries will be judged on November 10th. Only one winner be chosen for each division. (Our division are grades 3-5.) The winning student will have until Friday, November 13th to make any necessary corrections, then the writing will be sent to the AISA competition. The AISA competition is on November 19th.
