Are you up for the challenge?
Do you want to enter an international writing challenge?
Can you write five of your best ever sentences?
This challenge is called the Five Sentence Challenge for kids all around the world. It gets posted on a Thursday and must be posted on the blog two weeks later. We have started late so our posts must be up by this Thursday 12th June.
The prompt this time is this busy market place in England. Make sure you look really carefully at the picture so that your sentences are really interesting.
Remember to use all five of your sentences and that adding connectives can make them longser so more detail can be added. Try using one simile, 1-2 connectives and some very 'Magical' words.
Steps:
1. Brainstorm your ideas and 'Magical' words.
2. Write a simile you could include.
3. Write 'senses words' to include.
4. Draft out your five sentences.
5. Take your sentences through editing - Writer's Eyes.
6. Look for ways to rearrange your sentences or add connectives to improve them.
7. Publish on the class blog with the image inserted.
8. Title - 5 Sentence Challenge #17 - Allana (your name).
We are looking at how Cornelia starts her book 'When Santa Fell to Earth' by describing a thunder storm. Most of us have experienced one, but here is another example to help us with our Quick Write description. We might want to use these descriptions when we write our own myth.
The teachers all went on a writing course today and I am so excited about what I learned, because we will use it in class together.
I wonder if you can guess the time of the year my poem describes?
The sun sits low, catching my eyes in a flash
The blue sky lays gently, watching from above
The skeleton trees stand upright like soldiers on duty
The wind whips like a biting razor
Have I used the name of the season in my poem? How can you tell what season I am talking about?
