Short story contest
Before the pandemic, the first edition of the short-story contest took place. Students enjoyed it, so here we are again with new stories.
This year, the students of 3 VE, 3 B GAT, 3 A GAT gave their best and accepted the challenge.
Starting from some photos by the famous photographer Vivian Maier - thanks to our fantastic librarians for the book - students working in pairs or groups of three, invented their stories.
They had to respect some rules, based on B1 writing guidelines.
We started off with the whole class participating, the best stories moved on to semifinals and finals.
On each round, their stories were read and assessed by 4 VE, 5 B GAT, 4 B GAT, 5 A GAT students. Evaluating their younger mates proved to be quite a valuable experience.
