Link to Become A Google Slides Resource™ Included!

Spark creativity in your students with these exciting picture prompts! Each prompt features an imaginative scene, two guiding questions, and two sentence starters to inspire descriptive and creative writing. Perfect for writing centers, assignments, or independent practice, this resource will engage students and make writing fun. Easy to use and ready to print, it’s a must-have for any upper elementary classroom!

Included:

- 30 Black and White Printables

- 30 Color Printables

- Options to Project 30 Color Printables on a Screen

- Each Page Includes: 

• A Picture Prompt
• 2 Guiding Questions to Inspire Creativity
• 2 Optional Story Starters

Inspire reluctant writers with no-prep, digital visual photo writing prompts set to music. You'll get 30 photos prompts, each one set to music, that act as story starters for creative writing projects. You'll also get printable AND editable graphic organizers for both Google Docs and Google Slides, which makes differentiating and supporting reluctant or struggling writers easy. If you're looking for easy, no-prep digitalwriting prompts that will stimulate the senses, this resource is ideal. Can be used throughout the year, year after year.

Use as a Guided Whole Class Lesson. Using this resource is really easy. Simply select a slide to display on your screen, interactive TV, or smartboard for your students in present mode. Then turn up the volume as the embedded music starts to play (starts automatically), and sit back and watch as the creative juices start flowing. The visual and auditory stimuli will help students quickly generate a word bank full of ideas, which is perfect for creative writing. Use the slides to start a conversation, brainstorm ideas for characters, settings, and conflicts, generate a word bank, or inspire an entire week-long writing project. Use as a low-stakes quick write activity or a longer-term writing activity.

Here's what you'll get . . .

• 30 different digital photo prompts for teachers on Google Slides
• Unique song or sound effect for each photo prompt to set the tone (music starts automatically on every slide)
• Teacher’s Guide with lesson ideas
• Prompts and Differentiation Ideas Teacher Guide for each of the 3 resources
• Student Google Slideshow that includes each of the photos and brainstorming organizer
• Individual Writing Prompt Google docs, each with a photo and graphic brainstorming organizer (does not include the sound effects or songs on the docs)
• 2 Graphic Organizers to generate and capture story ideas

Differentiating for student needs is easy. Students can brainstorm ideas via speech to text or typing directly onto a Google Slide or Google Doc. Simply push out the doc or slide out through Google Classroom and be sure to give each student their own digital copy. OR give students the printable document to handwrite their ideas. Use the Prompts and Differentiation Ideas Teacher guide to further support struggling writers by providing kids with a completed word bank, questions to answer, and story ideas.

In my own 5th-grade classroom, I like to have my students silently brainstorm ideas before they meet up with partners to build a story. Sometimes we use the photo and accompanying soundtrack as a quick-write while other times we work our way through the entire writing process. Often, I’ll use my interactive TV to record student ideas and capture a word bank directly on the slide before sending the class to their seats to further develop their ideas. Once, during an observation, the recess bell rang and not a single student noticed because they were so wrapped up in their writing. I'd call that a win!

Teachers love this resource because it's so easy to use and doesn't require any prep time or complicated steps. Students love the music and fun photos that really help set the mood, making writing so much easier.

Had fun, but want more resources like this one?

What Do You Do With an Idea? by Kobi Yamada Activities w/ Digital Option:

This literature unit for What Do You Do With an Idea? focuses more on the concepts presented in the story and less on the content (although there are comprehension questions included in list form as well as task card form... maybe you need both of them).

My hope is that this product will help your students discover their own magnificence (with a little help from you and this amazing picture book). Enjoy!

Note: Picture books are generally most appropriate for primary grades, but the concepts presented in 'What Do You Do With an Idea?' are appropriate for any age, so this unit is designed to reach students a bit older than the average picture book audience.
