Penguin Chick
Story-Writing Contest
The
Aquarium of the Pacific would like to invite students from Los Angeles, Orange,
and Riverside Counties to compete in a story-writing contest about penguins.
Meet Heidi, our newest Magellanic Penguin
Background
Information: Heidi
hatched at the Aquarium in June and spent her first month behind-the-scenes.
Now that Heidi has replaced her downy newborn feathers with water-tight adult
feathers, she has joined her parents and the other penguins in the June Keyes
Penguin Habitat. Heidi will eventually grow to be two-and-a-half feet tall and
weigh between six and fifteen pounds. Magellanic Penguins, like Heidi’s parents
Roxy and Floyd, spend their time on rocky and sandy beaches, like those on the
coast of Brazil, where Roxy was rescued. They dive into chilly water in search
of squid, fish, and krill. At the Aquarium, you can watch our penguins waddle
around their rocky habitat and swim gracefully through the water. You can also
see them on our live penguin webcam and see how they spend their days.
Story Contest Guidelines
Task: Are
you inspired by Heidi, her parents, and all of our Magellanic Penguins? If so,
tell us your penguin story. Below are suggestions on what components make a
good story:
•
a
beginning, middle, and end
•
a central
event, like a conflict or discovery
•
characters
who change or learn a lesson
•
illustrations
that help tell the tale
•
sensory
language (sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch)
•
dialogue
•
figurative
language (similes, metaphors, onomatopoeia, alliteration, hyperbole)
Stories
must be original pieces, have a penguin theme, and be no longer than 500 words.
Stories must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. PST on October 19, 2013. Only one
entry per person will be accepted. Winners will be notified via e-mail by
