150 amazing images to help students write and think more creatively

I have compiled these amazing images over a number of years and use them quite frequently with my own students and thought I would upload them to www.edgalaxy.com for all to share.  These images are great to use with students for creative writing as they contain humorous and action packed scenes from around the globe.  I hope you enjoy them and would love you email me any great pictures you have to add to it.

Huge bank of image prompts for your next writing session

What is it? Pic-Lits is a very simple site that has a bank of images for teachers to use to stimulate different styles of writing as well as a drag and drop bank of words you can select with with your students to describe what is happening in the picture or just associate basic text related to the image.

How can I use this in the Classroom? Pic-Lits would be great for snapshot writing sessions when you want your students to extend their vocabulary by using nuns, verbs, adverbs and adjectives. Simply show them a picture then as a group select words you would like to see included with a related writing task and let them go to it.  Students could work through this process about 4 times in an hour depending upon their enthusiasm and ability.  Access it here.
