Five Minute Writing Challenge - "Bad Decisions"

Students took 5 minutes in class to creatively write. They used an  image they selected off of https://storybird.com for their creative inspiration. Spelling, punctuation, and capitalization skills are not the focus of this challenge! Students have five minutes to dig deep into their creative minds and write about what they see!

• 10 Complete sentences
• Correct punctuation, spelling, capitalization, BME format
