Radio station WKRT has adopted a Valentine’s Day theme, and has decided to present all of its news items with a romantic flavour. The station has asked you to write the script for some of the topics on the next news bulletin, and each item needs to conclude with “…and they lived happily ever after.”
The topics include:
- an outbreak of street gang violence
- the near-extinction of Chinese Giant Pandas
- the plight of homeless teenagers in major cities.
With the use of their new ReducerRay machine, Nano-Technology Incorporated has developed a series of exciting adventure holidays for serious thrill-seekers. To take part in these activities, people are reduced to microscopic size, and then placed in their choice of different locations (e.g. inside a human body; near an ant colony; on a bird’s wing).
Choose the five ways that you would most like to have a holiday, and draw cartoons to illustrate an amazing adventure that you would possibly have in each location.
As the chief reporter for your school newspaper, you have decided to conduct some very unusual interviews for the Sports Day. Describe how each of the following felt about the day, and write down what they said when you talked to them:
- an ant that lives in the grass in the middle of the track
- a sock being worn by a long distance runner
- the starting gun
- the finish line.
Some older people become disheartened when they have birthdays beyond 60 years of age. What would happen if our country introduced a law that required your age to officially DROP after you turned 60, i.e. 61 would be 59, 70 would be 50, 80 would be 40, and so on.
Give at least 10 things that would possibly happen because of this new law.
Co-operating with other people is an important part of life. For your sports day, design five different team games where everyone will win. Your outline should include:
- the detailed rules for each game
- a diagram of the court or field markings needed for each game.
On Valentine’s Day, people generally send presents and messages of love to other people. However, for this year’s Valentine’s Day, GreenPeace has asked everyone to treat the Earth as their Valentine, and to give a special message or present to the planet in some way.
What would you give?
