I recently stumbled on this great site for writing that I thought I would share with you in case you haven’t seen it yet. It is Scholastic’s Story Starters, and I think it would be a great site to use in your classrooms as a writing center or it could be a good computer lab activity. The tool generates funny story starters for students based on their grade level, and then takes them to a place where they decide on the format for their stories and create them right there on the computer. It looks like a lot of fun, and I think it would attract even the reluctant writers in your classrooms. Let me know what you think of it!

Your library lady,
