The Google Slideshow, 14 Random Writing Prompts : Character, Situation, Prop, Setting, and Phrase provides students with interesting and fun prompts for unique short stories and flash fiction. The prompts include ideas for writing realistic fiction, fantasy, science fiction, and mystery. stories Each prompt is structured with a character idea, a situation, a prop, a setting, and a phrase that they can seamlessly incorporate into their narratives and are designed to foster the development of compelling characters, gripping conflicts, vivid settings, and evocative moods. The prompts can be used in any order and can be customized to cater to the diverse needs of your students, whether they are Gifted and Talented Education (GATE)-identified, have Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), are second-language learners, or fall into the general education category. Each time we write, I share 3-4 slides . Sometimes students will choose to mix and match different elements from different slides to write a story.Over the course of 25-30 minutes, they write to one or two of the slides of their choice. The next time we write, I include the original 3-4 and I add 1 or 2 more slides . Eventually, they will see the whole slideshow. If my students aren’t inspired by the prompts, they can write whatever they feel like writing, work on a previous prompt to develop it, or work on something else they’ve been writing.Every few days, instead of writing, students break into small groups and choose one of their stories to share with their group members for feedback. Over time, your students will have one or more completed short stories or flash fiction pieces.
