Writing NEWS ARTICLES with PICTURE PROMPTS

Want to make writing fun and engaging for your students?

Use the power of pictures !

Each year I ask my 4th and 5th year ESL students to write a news article in class. I used to give them prompts in the form of sentences but it wasn’t really motivating…

This year I decided to try pictures… and it’s been a hit !!

I gave each of them one of the photos from the pdf document included (I printed them in b & w to save ink – it was perfect) along with the worksheet (pdf AND editable included) and let them use a dictionary. They had 45 minutes (which was fine), a bit more for my special needs students.

Pictures can be a wonderful way to motivate our students’ imagination – even reluctant writers’ !

The picture prompts in this resource are all based on visual images that stimulate the imagination.

So use pictures to spark your students’ interest !

Included in this resource:

* Student worksheet with rubrics and self-evaluation checklist (Editable PowerPoint document – US and A4 sizes)

* Student worksheet with rubrics and self-evaluation checklist (pdf document – US and A4 sizes)

* 30 picture prompts (pdf document) – 30 photos - (Credits:  https://pixabay.com)
