This FREE photo writing prompt slideshow is sure to be a hit with even the most reluctant of writers. Each of the 3 photos is carefully selected to ignite the imagination and creativity of the writer, while the accompanying audio and sound effects add a new level of engagement to the experience. The Google Slides presentation requires no prep and can be projected on a screen, interactive TV or smartboard in slideshow (present) mode.

No matter what age, your students will love these 3 creative writing prompts. Simply select a slide to display for your students, turn up the volume as the embedded music starts to play (starts automatically), and then sit back and watch as the creative juices start flowing. Slides can be used to start a conversation, brainstorm ideas for characters, settings, and conflicts, generate a word bank, or inspire an entire week-long writing project.

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.

Here's what’s included:

· 3 Google Slide Photo Prompts set to music

· Music starts automatically on every slide

· Teacher’s Guide with lesson ideas

· Terms of Use
