CBCA Book Week 2018
Each year the Edmund Rice Learning Centre brings children and books together by celebrating CBCA Book Week. During this time, the children celebrate Australian children’s literature, and the Kid’s Cancer Project ‘Write a Book in a Day’ is an integral part of this. This year’s theme for Book Week is ‘Find your treasure …’
On Monday 20th August, 42 boys from Years 8-10 have written, edited and illustrated a book in twelve hours. The initiative has teams of students writing a children’s book that will be donated to various children’s hospitals throughout Australia. Seven teams have written Australian stories titled: Agent M105, Didgeridoo Done Hack You, Christmas Is Ruined, Time Line, The Great Ferret War, Virtual Revenge, and From Nam to Nowhere: A Journey.
Their stories incorporate five parameters (two human characters and one non-human character, a setting and an issue) and five random words.
