Global writing challenges for this week

Today we looked at two global challenges that you may choose from to write on (due during the double block day)

First:  The 140 Word Challenge - shared by fellow Genius Hour teacher Sheri Edwards

• This challenge is more about generating ideas or developing your thoughts, questions, and reflections to share.  It is more of a journal style of writing but may include creative writing as well.

Second:  The 100 Word Challenge - you will be writing from the prompt on Week 12

• The purpose and intention behind the 100 Word Challenge is to practice creative writing skills (eg. descriptive language, dialogue, imagery, suspense,...) in a very concise (short and efficient) manner.  

Eventually, we will start sharing globally as that is also an important part of these challenges - so that we can connect to a global audience and give and receive feedback, as well as expose ourselves to varied writing styles.

To begin, we will do this in class only on paper.  Your Writing Challenge will be due in class this week double block (Wed Nov 19 and Thurs Nov 20).
