SOUNDS LIKE A STORY | ELT-CATION. A picture is not the only source that can inspire a thousand words. Sounds may tell a story just as well, leaving much more room to the imagination. The activity I’ll describe today is built around sounds and guides students to the actual writing of the story based on the sounds they hear. Step 1. Generating a story idea Tell your students that they will hear different sounds. Ask them to note, in sequential order, the sounds they hear. Pair up or split students into teams and get them to compare their notes.

Step 2. Have students write the basic story using linking words to order the events in their story; Writing. Writing Prompts, A Story Dice and Book Creator. AlicePopkorn via photopincc It's easy to say that students need to be creative in classrooms - but what if they aren't in the mood for fantasies or letting their imagination fly freely? And what if - because it does happen - the teacher has run out of ideas for writing? That's when it's helpful to have a resource of writing prompts to turn to. Plinky offers writing ideas on a daily basis, and teachers don't necessarily have to have their students create an account.
Instead, a teacher can use Plinky and select a topic/prompt which may be appropriate for the whole class. Enchanted Learning - Essays to Write is another source to look for writing prompts; many may be geared towards K12, but work well for ESL/EFL as well. Writing Prompts, offers another selection of prompts, often with interesting visuals. After writing their paragraph or short essay, students can then continue and create a publication.
Is free and fun to use. You only need to roll the dice to see where the next story will lead. Elements of a Story. Elements of a Story.
