Results of the Story Writing Competition(for IPG Students)

The results were announced and prizes were presented at the English Day Assembly (21 / 03 / 12). Photos here. (follow the link). Results here (follow the link).

Story Writing Competition (for IPG students)

All students (not just TESL) at IPGKDRI were offered an incentive through a competition to write a story about childhood in Malaysia. Stories had to be written in English, but were judged on the story rather than the quality of the written English (as long as it could be understood).

Suggested themes are:
  • "A favourite object from my childhood"
  • "The happiest day I can remember"
  • "A sad moment in my childhood"
  • "The day everything changed"
There is no minimum or maximum length, but the story needs to be complete.

As well as rewarding the best stories, it is hoped that the stories can be edited and then made available on the Stories for Malaysian Kids website, and also compiled into a book to be (hopefully) sent to a publisher when the opportunity arises.
