prompts to help young students delve into creative writing. -
Grades: PreK–K, 1–2, 3–5, 6–8 Ready to get students excited
about writing? Story Starters is a fun, interactive tool that
generates writing prompts, which include direction on character,
plot and setting. Your students will love to watch the Story
Starters wheels spin. Plus, if they want to modify the prompt,
they can simply pull the handle on the Story Starters Scrambler
to change any piece of it! The activity is now also available
for iPad. - First, students choose one of four themes:
Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-fi, or Scrambler. - Then, students type
their name and select their grade. - Next, they spin the wheels
to generate a random writing assignment. - Student's pick a
template — notebook, letter, newspaper, or postcard. (Students
can opt to include a drawing, too.) - Once they’re finished
writing, they can print or download
