100 WORD CHALLENGE

The 100 Word Challenge is a way to improve writing and provide a purpose for all the work done in class!

It is a FREE weekly creative writing challenge for children of 16 years or younger. Each week a prompt is given, which can be a picture or a series of individual words and the children can use up to 100 words to write a creative piece. Each week we have the ability to publish people’s 100WC pieces on to our class blog.

By setting a limited word count with a focused theme and a guaranteed audience beyond the class teacher, children have far greater motivation for writing, as well as an opportunity to really practise their writing skills. This is definitely not an easy way to write, but the rewards can be great.

We would love you to read our pieces in the 100 Word Challenge, and then most of all we would be really thrilled if you could add a comment, suggestion, or feedback to students. Don’t forget to let us know where you come from so that we can get back to you or see your blog.
