Year 6 Fiction: Redrafting Your Mini-Saga

A mini saga is a piece of writing which has exactly fifty words - not 49, not 51 - exactly fifty words! (Not including the title). A mini saga has to tell a complete story with a beginning, middle and end. The best mini sagas end with a clever twist.

Mini sagas force you to be creative - the constraints imposed by having to write exactly fifty words makes you think about every single word that you write. There are some good tips here.

Task: Please write a second draft of your favourite mini saga. We'll record them through audioboo as special mini saga eduboos tomorrow!
