50 word story

AO: PURPOSES AND AUDIENCES.Show an increasing understanding of how to shape texts for different purposes and audiences.INDICATORS: constructs texts that show an awareness of purpose and audience through deliberate choice of content, language, and text form

This activity sounds simple, but it's not. To write a good 50 words story each word must be carefully considered. Because you only have fifty words,each word must 'pull its weight'. 

A good 50 word story will
  • have sentences of different lengths (try starting with a very short one, followed by a much longer one)
  • not repeat too many words
  • have a 'twist' at the end. Kaedyn has a great example of all of this in his story 'The End"
