First Story: Get ready to do the #247Challenge this Wednesday — National Writing Day is upon us!
Wed 24 Jun 2020 to Wed 24 Jun 2020
As we emerge from lockdown, the power of words to give voice and agency to our stories couldn’t be more pertinent. This National Writing Day, 24th June 2020, we’re launching the simple writing call to action: the #247challenge.
The challenge is intended as a moment of unity, of freedom and – most importantly – of fun where students, teachers – and anyone who wants to be involved – can enjoy writing together and take a moment to express themselves.
How to do the #247 challenge:
1.Write a 24-word story on a piece of paper (or record on video) starting with ‘One day…’
2.Take a photo of your story or take a photo of yourself with your writing
3.Share your original pieces of writing via Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, using #247challenge.
4.Tag three friends!
