Simply a Smorgasbord


John Spencer has created some video writing prompts.  You can give students choice when writing but also give support to those who struggle to come up with ideas.
I added the prompts to a slideshow. Share the slideshow with your students in Google Classroom by adding an assignment and choosing “make a copy for each student” or make QR codes for the YouTube videos and have students respond in Seesaw or another writing app.
If you find them helpful, give John a "thumbs up" and a positive comment. You can subscribe to John's YouTube Channel here.
