How it works

You set yourself a challenge and between now and January next year aim to achieve your goal.

You can read books, write stories or use IT to make book trailers.

Reading

If you think it will be a challenge to read any 12 books - the choice is yours!  If you already read a lot, you could choose to read 12 classic novels.  Or maybe 6 of each?  Or you might choose to read 12 poems - Whatever you think will be a challenge for YOU.

Writing

Do you have ideas for a book?  Try it out by writing twelve chapters.  Or write 12 short stories in a particular genre or mixed genres.   Or write 12 poems, with a theme or with none, the choice is yours.

Book Trailers

Have you seen the book trailers on the screen in the Library?  This is your chance to make your own.   Set your own limit for this - 12 could be too many!

Meetings

We will all meet in the Library at lunchtime as near to the 12th of each month as we can, when you hand in a review of what you have read or a copy of what you have written that month.
