These writing prompts are great sentence starters to use within Literacy activities. They can be used when teaching verbs and adding various parts of speech- such as adjectives and adverbs to enhance a sentence. These prompts can be used to differentiate between students as more capable students can write larger texts with a rich vocabulary based on the writing prompt. The classification cards can be used as stimulus for research activities, labelling activities, categorising and much more.
