Introduction
As a child, I loved to dig through the bottomless boxes of photographs my
mother stored beneath the beds in our house (organizing them intoalbums is still on her to do list). Scrutinizing a faded black and white
print of my grandparents, I would imagine the night they first met. Other snapshots
reminded me of my familys most treasured times: the births of my siblings,
vacations on the New Jersey shore, my first day of school. These forays into the
photo boxes kept me entertained for hours.
A few years ago, I rediscovered the power of pictures as a graduate student in a fiction-
writing workshop. I was struggling with a major case of writers block, and the professor
prescribed a remedy that had always worked for him: a worn copy of the childrens classic
The Snowman by Raymond Briggs. Just look at the illustrations, the professor suggested,
and write whatever story comes to mind.
It worked. That beautiful picture book cured my writers block. It also got me
thinking that illustrations, photos, and other kinds of pictures would be a wonderful
way to motivate young writers. That is the premise behind this book, the latest in
Scholastics popular line of writing prompt collections. I wrote 101 Picture
Prompts to Spark Super Writing as a resource for busy teachers who value
writingand want to make it fun and engaging for their students.
Why Use Writing Prompts?
As teachers, we want all of our students to be able to express themselves creatively and
cogently. Writing is not only necessary for communicating in daily life; it is also frequently the
means through which we digest new information in all subject areas. Leading educators have
been discussing the importance of writing skills for years. In fact, many state and national
standardized tests now include segments that require students to write paragraphs and
essays.
How can we make sure students get the practice and inspiration they need asemergent writers? One teacher-tested solution is to use exciting writing prompts
like the ones in this book. These prompts cover a wide spectrum of kid-friendly
topics, from special effects to sports bloopers. They are also connected to your
curriculum. There is such a rich variety of topics, you are bound to find one to
connect perfectly with a given days lesson.

Picture-Perfect Writing
The prompts in this collection have an added advantage:
They are all based on visual images that stimulate the
imagination. These images capture the full range of human
experience and emotion and provide a window into the natural
world. Some examples include:
A political cartoon that asks students to think about thetechniques the creators of television commercials use to
persuade viewers to buy products.
A photo of a giant whale parked on a city streetwith aprompt suggesting that students act as news reporters on
the scene.
A reproduction of theMona Lisa that gets kids thinkingabout whom they might honor with such a portrait today.
Because these images require interpretation and
imagination, they encourage writing at its besta transaction
in which the student makes his or her own connections and
constructs own meaning. You will find that even the most reluctant writer can feel successful
with these prompts. At the same time, all of your students will develop a richer sense of visual
literacy, the ability to make sense of the countless images we are surrounded with every day.
Dont Miss These Special Features:
To make this book work for you, we have included the following
special features:
Easy-to-use reproducibles: Each picture is printed on its ownreproducible page complete with lines for students writing.
That makes it easy for students to save their work in a folder
or binder.
Variety of writing formats: The prompts encourage allkinds of writing, from lists to letters, fairy tales to persuasive
essays.
Cross-curricular prompts: In addition to the main promptfor each picture, we have included a mini-prompt
specifically tied to your science, social studies, language

How to Use This Book
Some Tips From the Author:
1. Make writing a daily event. Set aside time each day forresponding to picture prompts. Choose a time when students
are relaxed and responsive. You will need 15 minutes to a half
hour for each prompt activity, depending on your students level of comfort with writing
and interest in the topic.2. Choose a prompt by browsing through the book or scanning the index for a topic. You
may choose to approach the prompts one genre at a time, setting up separate units on
photographs, political cartoons, and fine art. Or, you can invite one student to choose a
prompt each day.
3. Photocopy the prompt page and review the directions with students. For the mini-promptat the bottom of each page, encourage students to write on another sheet of paper. Many
teachers say these mini-prompts work well as homework or small group work.
4. Model, model, model! While students are writing, respond to the prompt on your own. Itwill make for a great class discussion.
5. Evaluate students work. If you dont have time to read and evaluate each students workevery day, collect work from only five or six students at a time. Rotate the collection so
that each student gets regular feedback. Invite students to help brainstorm the criteria on
which the writing pieces will be evaluated (originality? organization? spelling and
punctuation?).
Enjoy!
