CBC First Page Writing Challenge winners…and Shakespeare!

The national winners of the writing challenge we entered have been published!  Read their first pages here:

Sari Warshawsky’s Nameless explores how the pressure of perfection in the digital era has transformed the world in 2167.
Abby Robitaille’s The Greater Good presents a world changed by oppressive dictatorships and press censorship.
 
 
 
The challenge: Grades 7 to 12 students write monologues or soliloquies in the voice of a Shakespearean character inspired by a current affairs event or trend from the past year (April 2017 to April 2018). Award-winning YA author Kenneth Oppel returns as judge. The competition opens April 6 to 27, 2018. 
 
After our recent trip to the Young People’s Concert where we watched the play Shakespeare’s Dream by Monster Theatre Company, are we feeling inspired to dive into Shakespeare??? (Mrs. Millar is…)

    I think it would be really cool and I would like to do it, but we will have to learn a lot about Shakespeare and the way he wrote.

    the young people’s concert was very good and very funny and also those winners definitely put their best effort in it or they wouldn’t be the winner!
