Inspire your writers this Easter with these 5 no-prep, digital narrative writing prompts 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 5 different secular Easter images. Each slide 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 Easter 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)
