Book Week 2021: Old Worlds. New Worlds. Other Worlds

Book_Week_2021_01.jpg

Appreciating that life can get a bit mundane and repetitive during lockdown, I am hoping to inspire you and your children with some exciting ways to celebrate Book Week. 

Book week will be held from Monday 21st until Friday 27th August, and this year’s theme is Old Worlds. New Worlds. Other Worlds. Here is how you can get involved:

  • Dress up on Monday 21st August or Tuesday 22nd (your teacher will let you know which day) and share your costume with your teacher and classmates during your Zoom lesson. Your costume can be your favourite character from a book, or you can get creative using this year’s theme. There is no need to purchase anything new, try using materials or clothes you’ve already got at home.
  • Enter one of the two competitions being held for book week this year. Competition number one is to write a story based on the book week theme of Old Worlds. New Worlds. Other Worlds of no more than 500 hundred words. Here are some starting cues you might like to use: I opened the door and found myself in a strange world, If I had a time machine I would.., My best friend is a dinosaur. Illustrations are most welcome.
  • Competition number two is to create a book trailer of a book of your choice. Your video should be about promoting the book you have chosen and should not be any longer than 1 minute and 30 seconds. You can find tips and ideas from Tristan Bancks here, How to Make a Book Trailer - Tristan Bancks. Some suggestions for free software/apps you can use to create your book trailer are: iMovie, Flipaclip, Stop Motion Studio, Animation Desk® Draw & Animate.
  • Both competitions close on Tuesday 22nd August at 9am (so you have 3 weeks). Please submit your entries to scclibary@dow.catholic.edu.au. All participants will receive a certificate and a winner will be selected from each stage and awarded with a certificate and a gift voucher. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, 23rd August. Have fun and good luck!

Thank you, I look forward to celebrating book week with you all and seeing your creative ideas.
