Used the fishing and changed my story virtually completely except for the my intro and outro which I moulded to fit the question. Pretty much used the tacklebox as an extended metaphor for the relationship between the kid and his grandfather and him looking back and discovering the box when his grandfather died.

Only wrote about 2 and a half pages because ran out of time fml.

When it said use an image as a central element, it didn't mean to literally use the picture i.e. a story about a kid swinging on a branch (image 1) did it?

I sure hope not cause I took it to mean use some themes or ideas that the picture conveyed and build a story around that idea, did I do it right?

Didn't prepare, didn't plan on preparing. Everything went okay, I made an original cliche-free story.

Hoping for 15/15 :) Took me a while to settle on which stimulus to use, but eventually chose the circle of kids.

My story was about a bookworm who's only friends were books, so I likened the kids to the books XD Ended up writing 6 pages :D

Wrote 3 pages, but the stimulus of the kid on the tree + the question itself suited my story perfectly, hoping for 12ish.

I did image 4.. the one with the feet on the grass haha
It really didn't fit my story, nor did any of the other ones but eh. I didn't make it the 'central' component... overall i did the shittiest thing and said "i saw their brown dress shoes stepping on the grass" or something hopeless like that.

Used the one with the kids and their heads together.

I did a speech though, so took a little bit of a risk.

I looked at that one and was like omg that would fit like a billion of peoples stories. but mine was nothing related to that at all.
I think majority of people at my school did the second one with the fishing

Remember, don't be too confident if the stimulus wasn't a CENTRAL IDEA for your story. If it isn't, you're probably capped at ~11/15.
