What educators are saying
Description
Need a fun way to get your ESL / ELL / EFL students to practice writing? Here are 40 engaging picture prompts that can be used 2 different ways.
1. 40 Picture Prompts with 2 sets of questions (Level I and Level II). These can be projected onto a screen. (These are "full page" size.) After students write their answers, you can have them discuss their responses aloud for an interesting class discussion and great speaking practice!
2. 80 Task Cards (40 different pictures + 2 levels of questions). These can be cut and laminated. Then hand them out to students and have them respond in a journal OR place in a writing center.
***For best results, print picture prompts in LANDSCAPE setting.***
Both options are a great way to get students settled and focused at the beginning of class.
More Uses:
• These picture prompts can also be used in a number of other ways. Students can practice sequencing words, cause and effect, journal writing, generating questions and assessment of oral language as well as conversation practice.
There are two levels of questions:
Level 1 questions include present tense, present progressive, simple past, yes/no questions, giving descriptions and "wh-" question words.
Level 2 questions include future tense, giving explanations, providing opinions, "why" questions, compare/contrast, "if", and "should", write a "conversation" or "short story".
