100 word challenge - week 3

The prompt is a little different this week. It is a picture! You need to look carefully and imagine a story. You then have 100 words to tell that story.

You might like to tell it from the elephant’s point of view or maybe a human looking at it. You choose!

The 100 Word Challenge is for anyone under 16. You write your story then post it on our class blog as usual and when it has been moderated, I can link it to the challenge page.

You can come back at any time and click on the other entries and leave comments.

Just to remind you that this challenge is about CREATIVE writing. When you are thinking about your piece really think about the words you are using. You only have 100 after all!

Don’t forget to try and visit some other schools and leave some comments on their writing.
