Competition Details The competition entitled "William Wallace, My Hero" will encourage pupils to think about what William Wallace would do for them if he was alive today. In teams of 4-6, they are asked to put forward the continuation of a story which starts: "William Wallace has travelled through time and has arrived at your school. He is willing to champion a cause on your behalf to make a change for the better at your school. In your own words tell us, what happens". "Contemporary Wallace" might tackle issues including racism, sectarianism, bullying, health issues or healthy eating. The format for the competition can be one of the following:
Each entry should be the work of a group rather than an individual, evidence of cooperative working will be valuable. Each team should consist of 4-6 primary school pupils (individual entries or those comprising 2 or 3 children will not be accepted). The judges will be looking for exciting, stimulating entries that show a genuine understanding of William Wallace, and of the issue being tackled. Imagination and innovation as well as the amount of work and effort put into the project will be key aspects that judges will be looking for. Entries have to show that they have taken account of the 5-14 curriculum (see the Learning Teaching Scotland website for details http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/ ), and that appropriate ICT skills have been used. Panel of Judges The entries will initially be sifted by Scottish Executive officials before being judged by our panel. The panel includes:
