4th Grade Creative Writing Interactive Whiteboard
Editable Digital Picture Prompts with Buildable Word Banks
By Betsy Newmeyer
Inspire better writing pieces by helping your class build a word bank based on illustrations prior to writing. Designed to be a teacher-led, no prep activity the whole class will enjoy, this Google Slideshow is editable and includes 20 different images with space to write 20 words per image.
In my own classroom, we use images to spark our writing pieces all the time. It gives the kids something to start from instead of trying to come up with their story ideas entirely on their own. And by collaborating as a class on building a word bank, it helps out ELD students and anyone else who struggles to find the right words. As the class generates words, the kids practice oral storytelling, which in turn leads to a better story. Use these photo writing prompts as a quick write or as part of a longer writing piece.
Here's what’s included:
- 20 Slides with illustration and blank word bank for up to 20 words
- Teacher’s Guide with suggestions
- Student Slide with reminders about adding details to a story
