⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️What teachers are saying about these picture prompts:

• "This product provided interesting discussion/writing starters. The kids love responding to images. It seems to spark creativity for some, and those who already tend to be creative enjoy taking the visual and running with it. Very interesting results!" - Maura F.

• "This versatile resource was a time saver! It was so easy to assign a few slides per quarter for the students to complete digitally. When students were in person, I would display the prompt on my smartboard and students would write responses in their journals. The prompts are very engaging for this age group! There were many creative responses!"- Shelly B.

• "Beautiful color photos provide thought-provoking prompts to expand expressive language and social perspective taking opportunities for my 5th-6th grade speech/language therapy students!" - Angela M.

• "So many great ideas! I allowed the students to select a topic (I offered two). The quality of the questions that guide the writing is exactly what I would do if I had time. I appreciate this!" - Theresa S.
