Engage even the most reluctant learners with this exciting, tried and tested literacy activity! Students pick a monster and have to write a mini-sage which is a story with EXACTLY 50 words. Because of the extreme word limit, students are immediately challenged to think carefully and creatively about their language choices for maximum effect. It also removes potential barriers to learning because the 50 word limit does not over-face students who struggle to write at length.
