Story Prompts

by Brian Tolentinoon Posted on

Here’s a set of creative writing prompts that have worked well with my students.

The protocol I follow is this:

  1. Watch the video prompt.
  2. Read the story on the worksheet given. This is a great opportunity to go over vocabulary, and gauge if students understand the text.
  3. Replay the video.
  4. Check for understanding. Be sure students know that they need to write 150 words or more. 
  5. Write.
