The 5 Sentence Challenge is very similar to the 100 Word Challenge (see ‘What is the 100WC?’).

It is a fortnightly creative writing challenge for children under 16 but it is aimed at the younger end or those children who may struggle with 100 words. The prompts are thematic and the link is open for two weeks giving more time for discussion and posting. The children should create 5 sentences about the theme. These can be as a list of 5 or as a piece of prose.

As with the 100WC, it is important to make sure you link the URL of the individual post and not the class blog. That way, commentators can see all the entries.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions for themes please leave a comment below.
