St. Patrick's Day Digital Photo Writing Prompts & Word Bank Bookmarks
By Betsy Newmeyer
Inspire your young writers this St. Patrick's Day with these 5 no-prep, digital narrative writing prompts set to music and printable word bank bookmarks. These picture prompts are perfect for inspiring creative writing and are the perfect activity for a substitute teacher. The Google Slideshow includes 4 different St. Patrick's Day or Irish-themed images and 1 video prompt of Irish dancers. Each slides includes one image, a story title, and small word bank that can be edited or added to. When displayed in slideshow mode, each slide includes a musical soundtrack that will play automatically. Also included is a set of 4 different printable St. Patrick's Day word bank bookmarks. Each bookmark includes 20 relevant words to jumpstart the storytelling process. These bookmarks can be used in conjunction with the slides or separately.
You can either select one visual writing prompt to display on your interactive TV or other screen, or push this slideshow out to students via Google Classroom and let each student select which image they want to write about. Be sure to turn your volume up! In my own classroom, I ask students to analyze the image and song silently first before asking them to brainstorm story ideas with a peer. I guide my students to describe what they might see, hear, smell, or touch. Then we add in emotions we might feel, thoughts we'd have, and things we might say. To help support or challenge students, print and cut apart several copies of the word bank bookmarks. Ask students to think critically about what words might make sense in the story they want to tell and to include as many words from their list as possible/feasible. I promise your students will have a ton of fun while still being challenged to tell a great story.
Includes:
Google Slideshow: Each of the 5 slides includes . . .
Image (one of the slides is a video that will play)
Song that should play automatically
Story title (editable)
Mini Word Bank with 5 words (editable)
Print & Cut Bookmark Word Banks (1 page of 4 different bookmarks)

Digital Resource | End of Year Writing Activity | ABC Memory Book
By Aimee in Elementary
This is a digital product designed to be used with Google Classroom or another assignment sharing platform. Students will need to have a gmail account to access this.
Students will come up with a word to represent each letter of the alphabet (each letter has its own slide). The word should have a specific meaning for that year. For example, students will avoid putting general words like “book”, and instead write the specific name of a book read in that grade. That way, they have this to look back on and remember the year! They will write a short description of why the chose the word, and insert an image to go along with the word!
Students can work independently or in groups. Although this is an ABC book, it is appropriate and fun for any grade level! Students will need to get creative to think of words specific to that year.
