fabostory3: April 2014

http://fabostory3.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Sleuthing and Writing Skills. Friday, April 18, 2014. NEW FaBo Lite starting May 2014. Hey dudes and dudettes. It may seem ludicrous but we're doing the FaBo story-writing thing again this year. Our only explanation is that we're a loony bunch over here at FaBo. Please check out the new site at http:/ fabostory.wordpress.com/. There'll be a new judge every couple of weeks who'll be judging a new round of stories. Someone needs to win those great prizes. It may as well be YOU. Posted by FaBo Story. It's y...

fabostory3: Chapter Seven

http://fabostory3.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-theory-and-big-bang-by-tania-hutley.html

Sleuthing and Writing Skills. Saturday, September 8, 2012. A Theory and a Big Bang. While he was swimming, Mote was thinking hard. What was with all these weird animal clues the saboteur was leaving, warning them of his plans for ruining the games? It was almost like he was playing chicken with them. Wait a minute. Playing chicken? The egg-throwing event was about to begin! Could Byrd be the one doing all this? Debussy came running into the arena, waving her arms and screaming. "There's a grenade! Mote g...

fabostory3: August 2012

http://fabostory3.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Sleuthing and Writing Skills. Sunday, August 26, 2012. Priscilla Byrd flew in and – with a vigour unusual in one so close to retirement – jumped in front of the bear and pointed a handgun. Inspector Barker bounded in next, taking up a similar stance several metres away. Last came Inspector Le Zard, hefting an assault rifle to firing position. 8216;Where’s Captain Pejalmer? 8217; whispered Mote to Deb. His sister didn't take her eyes off the scene below. ‘Sh! 8216;Ready …’ called Byrd. A slim woman in a t...

fabostory3: FAQ

http://fabostory3.blogspot.com/p/faq.html

Sleuthing and Writing Skills. Is there an age limit, and do you have to go to school? You need to be of primary or intermediate school age, but you don't have to be at school. You can write by yourself at home and submit your entry, or you can write at school. Do the adult writers on the FaBo team know where the story is going? Do we write a follow-on chapter to our own story, or the one that's written by the FaBo team? Are we allowed to get someone to read and edit our writing? What are the rules? No Yo...

fabostory3: July 2012

http://fabostory3.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Sleuthing and Writing Skills. Sunday, July 29, 2012. Mozart Finnegan (‘Mote’ to his friends) stood with his nose against the window, unable to tear his eyes from the spectacle below, despite repeated complaints from his sister that he was smearing the glass, and blocking her view. 8220;What if it breaks,” Debussy Finnegan said, when none of those things had any effect on her brother, “And you fall out! 8220;Better sit down,” their father said. Inspector Doug Barker was from Interpol, the international po...

fabostory3: Winning Writing

http://fabostory3.blogspot.com/p/winning-writing.html

Sleuthing and Writing Skills. Chapter Nine Judge's Report. I would like to thank all the students who gave fabo a go this year. I have been impressed by the hard work and overall terrific-ness of your stories. If you are keen on writing, writing more is the best way to get better at it. I hope you enjoyed the experience and will keep writing in the future. The shot rung through the air. Deb let a pierced cry escape her lips. Who had it hit, WHAT had it hit. 8216;Mote, the bullet hit the crate for the ket...

fabostory3: Chapter Nine

http://fabostory3.blogspot.com/2012/09/chapter-nine.html

Sleuthing and Writing Skills. Sunday, September 23, 2012. The door shut behind them with a definitive click. Mote rubbed at his eyes, but now they were all inside the well lit security office there was no mistaking the identity of the person with the pistol. 8220;You,” he squeaked. 8220;Is that a polar bear…costume? 8221; Deb gasped. 8221; Mendelssohn said coming up behind Mote and Deb. “What are you doing here? And who’s minding the farm? And what’s that on your forehead? 8221; Deb said. The building&#8...

fabostory3: Chapter Eight

http://fabostory3.blogspot.com/2012/09/chapter-eight.html

Sleuthing and Writing Skills. Saturday, September 15, 2012. There was no time to lose. Mote had to escape the choking smoke before he . well, choked. He stumbled forward with his arms held out before him like a zombie. The packed stadium was buzzing with disquiet. The spectators were beginning to suspect the thick, pink smoke wasn't actually part of the egg-throwing event. He'd been waiting all his life for a chance to be a hero. There was no way he was going to miss it now it was here. You have to come ...
