100 Word Challenge
Although no longer active the 100 word challenge site provides a wonderful archive of writing prompts. Teachers can continue using the prompts and share the writing with others.
By setting a limited word count with a focused theme, children have a greater motivation for writing. Those who are reluctant writers feel safe with only 100 words to write, whilst those more advanced writers can really extend themselves with the word restriction.
