Write a poem, a short story, a script or a piece of memoir or an essay that features a bat.
Here are a few more
thoughts about bats to help you:
Academic article
Some say the
coronavirus that is part of the current pandemic came from bats. Is that true? Use all of your journalistic and
academic skills to establish whether this is correct or not and then write a convincing
article that tells the public the truth. Could you submit it to https://theconversation.com/uk
?
Horror story
Or go completely in the other direction and write a horror story
about an encounter with bats that led to some nasty disease spreading. You
might be able to submit it here: https://www.fairsubmissions.co.uk/search/label/Horror
Story for children
However, it is bat APPRECIATION day so perhaps we need to be
kinder to bats. What about a nice story for children about rescuing a bat with a
broken wing? Find places to submit your story here: https://www.fairsubmissions.co.uk/search/label/Children%27s%20fiction
Factual piece for children
Write a short factual article for children. Here’s where you
might submit it: https://www.fairsubmissions.co.uk/search/label/Children%27s%20non-fiction
As always with non-fiction it might be an idea to see what sort of copy these
publisher require then shape your article to that.
British bats
The Bat
Conservation Trust has a lot of information
about British bats. And in fact, aren’t’ those photos kind of cute? Not much to
be afraid of here.
Facts about bats
Can you put together a list of ten fascinating facts about
bats? Maybe one for adults and one for children?
Protected species
Write a story or an article about a family invaded by bats.
They may have hated them at first or perhaps they were afraid of them but maybe
they come to love them.
