Writing+Twist


 * WRITING WITH A TWIST**

We are surrounded by photographs in our daily lives—family snapshots, colorful advertisements, newspaper images of war and peace. Because children are often naturally drawn to photos, they make excellent writing prompts. These prompts will encourage students to:

• use higher-order thinking skills to interpret photographs critically and creatively. • write imaginative fiction. • apply and appreciate humor in writing. • collaborate with peers in creative problem-solving • stimulate the imagination

Look at the image, open the form and respond to what you see. You will need to write a 4-6 sentence paragraph that explains your thoughts. Make sure you are clear and detailed. Extra credit will be earned for high quality work that can be used as examples.
