But often one’s idea engine needs a quick jump start. Whether for classroom journaling exercises, or to combat the terrifying blank page that stares back at you defiantly, these clever writing prompts are sure to inspire.<\/p>\nCanTeach: Writing Prompts \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star5.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*****\"> \n“What is something you do well?” “What would happen if you could fly whenever you wanted?” “How do you feel when it’s your birthday?” “I wish everyone loved …” These fun questions and fill-in-the-blank statements make great writing prompts for all ages. They are organized by question type (what is, what if, which, when, why) and followed by a miscellaneous category. “Does it bother you to be around someone who has bad manners?” <\/p>\nCreative Writing Prompts \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star5.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*****\"> \n346 writing prompts on a single page! Simply hover your mouse over a number to view the prompt. “Write from the point of view of the only tree left standing in the forest.” “The best thing in life is ….” Although these prompts are specifically for grown-ups, many of them will be usable for high-school and middle-school classrooms. Publisher and author Sherry Russ has several other writing sites, whose links you’ll find at the very bottom of the page. <\/p>\nEducation World: Writing Bugs \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star4.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"****\"> \nEducation World calls their printable prompts for elementary and middle-school “writing bugs” and lists them by month. What a great idea! In October, there are three, each with a Halloween theme. Click on any of the titles to view the entire prompt and to access the printable PDF. The printable includes lines for the student’s writing, along with instructions to continue on the back if he runs out of room. “I was in the middle of reading a ghost story, when the lights flickered and went out. Then I heard a noise!” <\/p>\n … Click to continue <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/writing_prompts.htm\">Writing Prompts <\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n #3.

Feldman\" align=\"bottom\" width=\"58\" height=\"58\"> \nDear Reader,<\/p>\nGood news from the Harvard School of Public Health. Coffee-drinking women reduce their risk of depression with every cup. And women who drink four cups of caffeinated coffee a day, are 20% less likely to suffer from depression. Woo hoo!! Does this make my De’Longhi Espresso maker a deductible medical expense? Ha ha ha!!<\/p>\nRead this NPR article for all the deets: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/blogs\/thesalt\/2011\/09\/27\/140837983\/\" target=\"_blank\">Caffeinated Women May Be Fighting Depression With Every Cup<\/a><\/p>\nTo see a picture of the little espresso machine that I use to make homemade lattes for about fifty cents each, click on through to my blog: \n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.barbarafeldman.com\/skip-the-antidepressants-just-bring-on-the-joe\">Skip the Antidepressants, Just Bring on the Joe!<\/a><\/p>\nSee ya on the Net, \nBarbara J.

But often one’s idea engine needs a quick jump start. Whether for classroom journaling exercises, or to combat the terrifying blank page that stares back at you defiantly, these clever writing prompts are sure to inspire.<\/p>\nCanTeach: Writing Prompts \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star5.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*****\"> \n“What is something you do well?” “What would happen if you could fly whenever you wanted?” “How do you feel when it’s your birthday?” “I wish everyone loved …” These fun questions and fill-in-the-blank statements make great writing prompts for all ages. They are organized by question type (what is, what if, which, when, why) and followed by a miscellaneous category. “Does it bother you to be around someone who has bad manners?” <\/p>\nCreative Writing Prompts \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star5.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"*****\"> \n346 writing prompts on a single page! Simply hover your mouse over a number to view the prompt. “Write from the point of view of the only tree left standing in the forest.” “The best thing in life is ….” Although these prompts are specifically for grown-ups, many of them will be usable for high-school and middle-school classrooms. Publisher and author Sherry Russ has several other writing sites, whose links you’ll find at the very bottom of the page. <\/p>\nEducation World: Writing Bugs \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/images\/kid-sml-star4.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"****\"> \nEducation World calls their printable prompts for elementary and middle-school “writing bugs” and lists them by month. What a great idea! In October, there are three, each with a Halloween theme. Click on any of the titles to view the entire prompt and to access the printable PDF. The printable includes lines for the student’s writing, along with instructions to continue on the back if he runs out of room. “I was in the middle of reading a ghost story, when the lights flickered and went out. Then I heard a noise!” <\/p>\n … Click to continue <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surfnetkids.com\/writing_prompts.htm\">Writing Prompts <\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n #3.
