The March Mini-challenge was:
Audio Challenge: Find a short fairy tale in your target language and record yourself reading it.
Written Challenge: Write a fairy tale, it can be as long or short as you want
The April Mini-Challenge was:
Audio and/or Written Challenge: Create an instructional video, audio dialogue, or a written manual which gives "How To" instructions. This can be on any subject from how to build a multi-hulled catamaran, to how to change a battery in a remote control. The audio/video should be at least 30 minutes long, and written instructions must be at least 750 words!
The May Mini-challenge was:
Audio/Video Challenge: Describe the rules of a game, it can be a board game, football, rugby, chess, card, whatever.
Written Challenge: Create a crossword puzzle completely in your target language on a 12 by 12 grid.
The June Mini-Challenge was:
Audio/Video Challenge: Do some vlogging or audio recordings about your day and your life. A quick 5-10 minutes each day would quickly build up into a significant amount of output over the course of the month! So have a go.
Written Challenge: Grab a notepad, a diary, or whatever you want to write in, and keep a journal. Perhaps you could do a food diary, or just a list of cool people you met? Doesn’t matter what you write, you don't have to share it.
The July Mini-Challenge was to write, and possibly sing and record, a song. Simple huh?
Audio/Video Challenge: Record and sing the song. This assumes you have some musical talent, or could dub over something else. If you don't have any musical talent, you can head on over to
http://opsound.org/music where you can get free/opensource music to record over.
Written Challenge: Write the song lyrics in your target language.
The August Mini-Challange was to write a script or the scene from a play. Very little description and lots of dialogue.
The September mini-challenge was to do arthaey's
Prompted Daily Output for the entire month! Which means arthaey has to keep posting the daily challenges. But in the even she forgets, please just grab a topic from the first post of this thread or the twitter list of prompts at the beginning of her thread. You can do this challenge as both Audio/Video Challenge and as a Written Challenge, or both, completely up to you!
The October Mini-Challenge is to become a tour guide / travel writer. This challenge is for you to describe your town/villiage/city/countryside/local area and to become a tour guide by creation of a video or audio tour, or a travel writer if you only want to do the text portion. As always you need to create this content in your target language, and if you do a video please, please, please, upload it and show us a link! I'd love to see.
The November Mini-Challenge is to write/record a speech. Use this link: http://www.ratespeeches.com/t=Speech-Topics to generate random topics for a speech. Write and/or record a 5 or 10 minutes speech based on one of the topics. Speech must be in your target language!
As always if this months challenge doesn't float your boat, then you can always return to one of the other mini-challenges and either do it again, or try some of the example exercises from the first post of this thread. Good luck everyone!
Come on people! I know you are doing output challanges out there! Lets see some. Show us the YouTube video, or the lang-8 link to your writing.
