Fun Quick Write Idea

Check out this fun story starter generator from Scholastic.

Scholastic Story Starters Scrambler (Click to follow link.)

Scholastic has provided a teacher's guide to go with this tool. I think this would be a great way to practice writing as a group.

A fun way to use this tool would be to select buttons 2, 3, and 4 for everyone to use and let each student push the 1st  button for the product they will be writing. Changing only one element would make the writing lots of fun as a group.
