Pre-Camp Writing Challenge #2: The One Week Challenge

YWER is a week away! Let's do a bit of a word play challenge.

One week, weak one, week one, one weak. The word week gives us a lot to play with; it is a good rhyming word and it has a homophone (one of two or more words pronounced alike but different in meaning or derivation or spelling -such as the words to, too, and two). Write a short story or poem (no more than 200 words) with the word week as your inspiration. Week or weak should appear in your piece at least once, but it may appear more than once.

Write or type it out on a single sheet of paper and bring it to camp with you. Feel free to add an illustration or doodle to your page if you feel compelled to do so. The goal is to write something! Don't get too hung up on perfection.

For this challenge campers will vote for:

1. The piece that creatively and effectively uses the word week (weak) the most times. How many times can you use the word(s)weak/week and still make it compelling?

2. The best use of homophones (use as many homophones as you like but the word

week or weak must appear somewhere in the piece)

Remember, do as many or as few of these challenges as you like and bring them with you to camp (there may even be awards!). Have fun!
