Extracts and a short story (2 Part Project)

The first part of the project is to present extracts from your life or someone else’s life. Then, choose one moment from the extracts and write it as a small children’s story for primary children. 

The extracts need to be presented with visuals (images/videos). 
You should have 2 or 3 written extracts (approx. 200 words each). 

For example, a chosen moment could be your first day of starting ESO and writing an entry into a diary, or a footballer scoring their first professional goal and writing a small news article. There are many possibilities! 

The second part of the project is to write a children’s story for primary children (3rd/4th/5th). (Using the same examples as above) You could write a story about a first day of school or a footballer’s first match for a big team. The story doesn’t have to be completely true, make it exciting, but not a complete lie, because it needs to be related to your real extracts. 


The template for the story should look something like this. The story doesn’t have to be that long, enough for a beginning, a middle and an end. It should be about 6 - 8 sides and putting in images also helps the children understand what is happening in the story.
