Events & Clubs: Write A Book in a Day

FAQs

 

  • What can I wear? Plain clothes. We also have a theme, such as beanies, onesies, crazy socks etc. Teams will get to vote on that theme.
  • How much does it cost? Nothing. Monte covers the cost.
  • How many people on a team? 10
  • How many teams can enter?  We can accommodate 12 teams of 10 people.
  • How do you select the teams? Year 7 teams are selected at random. For other years, we select the teams that have the most number of people in them that did not do WABIAD last year. This is the fairest method of selection for this very popular event.
RULES & PARAMETERS

ON THE DAY, at 8am, each team will be given the following elements in a sealed envelope that need to be included in your book:

  • Two human characters
  • One non-human character
  • A setting
  • An issue
  • 5 random words

You must include these specific elements, which you will not find out until 8am ON THE DAY. This ensure that all work done on the book is done on the actual WABIAD day.

WHAT IS WABIAD?  A 9.5 hour event where you work in a team of 10 to plan, write, edit, illustrate and print a 4000 word book, for a national compeition.
