As this is the last full week of home learning for most of you, I want to try something different!
This week, you are going to be undertaking the RANDOM WRITING CHALLENGE!
Each day, I'd like you to randomly select a number between 1 and 80 (there is a random number generator below). When you have your random number, check the Story Starters list to see what story starter you will be using. You'll use a different story starter each day. You are allowed to randomly select a number 3 times, and then choose which one you like best, or if you're really brave you will just go with whatever you get first time!
BUT WAIT - there's more! To make this MORE challenging, each day you will have a word limit, starting from just 100 words (you will very quickly discover that this is a lot less than it seems at first). You should not aim to write the exact number of words stated, just close to it. A good rule is to be within 20% of the word limit, either above or below - for example, this would mean if the word limit was 200, you should write between 160 and 240 words.
Don't forget to share your writing with me - you could share what story starter you have got on our blog.
Don't worry about writing a full story - just use the story starter to write part of a story.
