• 118 Amazing Science Fiction settings to choose from.

“If you visited this place, what would you feel, see, hear, smell, think?”
Who would you meet? What would happen?

• Question prompts and planning ideas included

With an abundance of choice available students can select their favourite images. Used regularly, these inspiring pages can help young writers get started, building better descriptions and longer more detailed sentences.

Once these ideas are flowing students can be encouraged to go on to imagine answers to more open questions like -

Why is this place like it is? Who made it?
What is it’s purpose?
Who does it belong to?
Why are “you” here too?

Another good approach is to spend time as a class or in small groups sharing ideas, thinking of powerful vocabulary, phrases and even mapping out a mini story plan, before asking the students to start writing independently. Responding to your student’s ideas and scaffolding them in a group is a great way to help build confidence and foster a culture where all ideas are valuable.

These fantastically detailed images will help stimulate everyones imagination, setting the stage for more elaborate creative writing.
