Five Minute end-of-Year Writing Challenge 

Students were given sheets of paper at random, face down, with our end of year writing prompts written on each sheet. Students had 2.5 minutes each to begin a story for their prompt, which included 2 vocabulary words. After the 2.5 minutes were up, students flipped their sheets over, and the sheets were randomly given to another student for them to write 2.5 minutes worth of story using 2 different vocabulary words. Students read their finalized story to the class!
