This resource is intended to be used as emergency cover for Secondary English or as an overflow task for when some pupils are finished, and some are still working – but of course you can use it however you see fit! The resource contains 5 pages, each containing 9 challenges that pupils can choose from. Each challenge has a different purpose; narrate, describe, persuade, letters and exposition. I would recommend printing the writing challenge sheets and distributing them 1 between 2 or per pupil. The pupils should then choose a challenge to complete and work on this, aiming to write either 300 words or a page, depending on the task. Help is given to the pupils on the left hand side of the page so they should keep the sheet with them while they write so they can refer back to it. **What’s included? ** Publisher Version (5 pages of writing challenges) PDF Version (5 pages of writing challenges) Notes on Resource
