Writing Prompts using piclits

Check out this interesting website for a multitude of cool writing prompts.  I found the photographs and words lists really helpful in generating new ideas for stories and poems.  Look through the gallery until you locate a picture that speaks to you in some way. 

Write a short story as a Word document so you can revise, edit, spell check, save etc.  Then copy the whole short story or best parts of your story as a comment under this post.

Also, I would love for you to e-mail me a copy of your Inventory of Beings as I would be thrilled to add them to this blog!

Have fun and enjoy!

Love,
Little Sardine
P.S.  Grade 5s, you can show off your new learning about dialogue and the use of quotation marks if it suits the style of the story!

P.P.S.  If you think this is a useful site, let me know and I can set up an account for the class.  That way, we can save right on the piclits site.
