How to Use These Writing Prompts

We all know writing serious content every day can be extremely challenging. Help your students enjoy writing and break up those longer projects with these picture writing prompts. They can be used in the following ways:

  • during your writing centers or stations
  • on days where they simply isn’t enough time to fit a normal writing lesson in
  • when your students have lost focus but you want to get at least a little writing in
  • those times where you or the students need a break from a larger writing projects
  • when everyone could use a good laugh during those extra 5-10 minutes of class
  • as a community building activity – because one you start sharing your captions and stories, you’re sure to connect better with those around you!

What the Experts Say

Being able to express yourself through writing is a “skill and gift. By cultivating this capability in your child, you are giving him the priceless power to share his thoughts and ideas with the world in a meaningful way.” This was stated by Pam Allyn in her book Your Child’s Writing Life: How to Inspire Confidence, Creativity and Skill at Every Age. 

As teachers, we all know the importance of writing and we all want our students to be proficient writers who are able to get their thoughts across well. We are in the classroom working with these students every day – we are the experts! So it should come as no surprise that we know the importance of making writing fun as well!

Students who have fun tend to learn and retain information better. Of course there are going to be times where they have to finish a research project or another writing assignment they don’t love, but it’s important for us to keep some of the writing assignments fun, short, and simple too.
