Morton Schools Project – Literacy (ages 11–14)
The times suggested beside each activity are intended to be a guideline; you’re welcome to spend as much time on each activity as you like.
Activity 1
(30–60+ minutes)
Choose one of the photographs from the top of the page. Write a piece of creative writing based on the image. This can be a poem, a short story or a scene from a play.
If you’d like to think about this a little bit more, you could try recording yourself presenting your piece of writing once you’re done.
Activity 2
(30–60+ minutes)
Choose one of the photographs from the top of the page. Imagine this photograph was on the front page of a newspaper. Using your own knowledge, online resources and books to research journalistic techniques, write a news article that would accompany this photograph.
We’d love to see what you come up with! Feel free to send them to us at @NTSCollections on Twitter or @nationaltrustforscotland on Instagram.
