The 100 Word Challenge starts again this week. This is a perfect challenge to promote student writing and develop the skills necessary for our next narrative assessment. Through 100WC, 5SK are consolidating their understanding of the Seven Steps to Writing Success. Last semester we were very fortunate to have two of our students, Rhiannon and Lewis,  showcased for their excellent writing on the 100 Word Challenge blog. I am very excited to see how many students make the showcase this semester.

Our first prompt is:

…… finally we can make a start…….

Students must use the prompt as it is written and only use 106 words total. (including prompt)

I have asked 5SK to type their stories up at home if they have access to a computer. They can either post on their KidBlog or save on a USB. We will visit the lab each week for students to complete their task. (Please note: Students who do not have access can type theirs up during lab time)

It is very important that students enjoy this task. I have encouraged them to brainstorm ideas before writing to create a plan. Homework program runs on Mondays and Wednesdays and 5SK are more than welcome to stay after school and write then.
