Description

Get the creative juices flowing! Choose a task from one of these 4"x 6" writing prompt cards that offer 52 atypical, brain-stretching options. Each one tells what to write about but also suggests ways to write about it (providing the format or some of the content). Tasks of the four, color-coded levels (from easy to challenging) span the descriptive, creative, and reflective: expand a scenario; describe the picture in 20 words; write your earliest food memories or a clerihew (It's defined!). A few Master Class cards up the ante: read a section from a famous author and imitate. Use for journaling, holding a “write-off" against a friend, supplementing a curriculum—or just for fun. Preview card content for individual suitability. ~ Ruth
