Creative Writing Prompt Cards

A set of 27 creative writing prompt cards that have 3 levels of differentiation. Higher ability students write 100 words describing the image on the card and must include at least named literary techniques e.g. personification, metaphor, semantic field. Middle ability students have to select appropriate vocabulary to describe the image e.g. adjectives, verbs, paint colours. Lower ability students are given 3 words for each image which they have to look up in a dictionary and then use in a sentence. They are ideal as starters or extension tasks.
There are 9 A8 cards on each A4 sheet which are designed to be laminated for repeated use. I store mine in a card index box and students select the card they wish to work on - the cards are numbered so the students simply write the number of the card in their book. Because they are differentiated they are suitable for all KS3 and KS4 classes.
(Paint colours - I have a full range of paint palette cards in the classroom so students can select appropriate colours to describe - so instead of black they will have various shades to choose from - e.g. licorice black.)
