If I had $100... Creative Writing Prompt
Lovely Lauren says,
You've got to grab this great writing prompt for the 100th day of school! To celebrate all things 100, I thought giving your students $100 dollars would suffice! :)
Brainstorm with children what they would do with $100 dollars and just see what kind of creative responses you get!
Your kids will have to chance to have their face on a $100 bill! They could draw themselves, or you can take a picture of them and attach it for some added pizzaz!

The Raven by Edgar Alan Poe
This is a fun small group activity that can be used in grades 8 through 12. This is an assignment that requires deep thinking and that the students actually enjoy. I usually introduce this activity in October to set the Halloween theme. Divide the class up into small groups of a minimum of 2 students but no more than 4 students. Give each group one of more verses of Edgar Alan Poe’s poem The Raven. Have the students totally and thoroughly translate the verse(s) into today’s modern language.

Visual Writing Prompts Sampler (36 images, 100+ Questions)
I love the idea of using images to help students practice making inferences, but it’s hard to find the time to track down school-appropriate but engaging images that also lend themselves to making meaningful inferences. So I took some time during spring break to select images. I also wrote 3-6 questions to accompany each image and to help students make inferences. The questions are designed to prompt student thinking without biasing student inferences. Here are some ways to use these slides: -As

5 W's Story Starter Cards
This resource comes with printable cards with suggestions for whos, whats, where, and whens that your students can use to create stories. There are 30 cards for each W.
Simply print, cut the cards out, and laminate to use over and over. I have used these several times with classes ranging from Grade 4-9. I like to pull out the cards every few weeks, or leave them with a sub as an easy writing activity when I am away, as I don’t have to do any prep once they are already laminated.
