This teaching kit provides teachers with dynamic and generative exercises to take into the classroom and get students enthused about writing for submission. A range of example activities are included for each category and can be linked to the Australian curriculum.
Please note that submissions to the competition are not required to respond directly to the story starters. As with this activity kit, they are simply additional resources for students and teachers to spark the creative process.
