About This Product

These picture writing templates are a cute way to give your students a nudge or idea about what they can write about. Have them study the picture and then let their pencils loose as they write about what they see, what the picture might mean, or build a story based on the photo. These are great to use as open-ended prompts that encourage their giggles and creativity!


 

How To Use This:

Choose which photo templates you’d like to share with your students or put our several options and let them pick one that interests them. Have some classroom or small group discussions about the picture and brainstorm what they could write about. These prompts work great for homework, early finishers, group projects, extra credit, supplemental work for advanced students, or just a fun writing project to interject to stretch those imaginative muscles!
