Your literacy challenge
Your literacy challenge
The primary class attempted a 200 Word Challenge this week. They could select any topic of their choosing, but they had to try and write exactly 200 words, no more, no less.
Then they examined two different versions of a story with the same characters, events and plot but written with varying levels of vocabulary sophistication and figurative language devices such as similes. (Excerpts below...)
Version 1: As she chased the butterfly, the trees grew taller, and the sunlight dimmed.
Version 2: Suddenly, a dazzling butterfly, like a tiny flying jewel, caught her eye. Intrigued, Lily followed it deeper into the woods, her heart racing with excitement.

Version 1: Panic rose in her chest.
Version 2: ***Send us your entries via Facebook or email!
