Hi! It’s Wednesday, August 17, 2011 and time for Language Arts at ClickSchooling!
Recommended Website:
Creativity Portal: Summer Writing Prompts
Age Range: 10 and up (Parents should preview the site, before visiting with children.)
This website provides summer-themed writing prompts and story starters to encourage creative writing in students. You can use them for every purpose including journals, blogs, school assignments, and just plain old fun!
When you get to the site you’ll find the “Summer Writing Prompts” in the center of the page. Scroll down the page to see all 15.
After you’ve explored the prompts, you’ll want to poke around this site to discover more inspiring activities for writers including how-to articles and random writing prompt generators that you can access from the menus at the top and sides of the page.
You will also want to take a look at the “Tools & Features for Teachers” with all kinds of creative tools, projects, and tutorials for classroom use that can be easily tweaked for the homeschool environment.
IMPORTANT: There is so much content here I was only able to review a small portion. Therefore, AS ALWAYS, parents should preview the site to determine if the content is appropriate for your own children, and also supervise any internet use.
