[writeclub] Day 1 #Nanowrimo in the Learning Commons

Day 1 NaNoWriMo and we originally had three girls interested in doing the writing competition.
Something happened and we now have 8.


A sign in sheet, some gummy bears, quote card and button badges for all. An old typewriter was also set up for students to tinker on; I think that it added to the ambiance!

The lunchtime was spent writing the first section of their 3,000 stories. Here is a summary of the ones that I read at the end of the teaching day:

  • A World War III spy thriller with a fortune teller.
  • A girl who lives in a bland world discovers colour.
  • A girl falls down a portal and travels back in time to meet her grandmother.
In Australia we have a four day long weekend, which coincides with a horse race on Tuesday. I am hoping that many of the students will find the time to do some writing over the weekend and I will have some more entertaining stories to read on Wednesday of next week.
