for Teachers and Writing Groups

It is the 15th of the month again, now June 2022. See the full list of previous downloads below. 

This month the theme is social media. Love it, hate it, or neutral, there is no escaping it. Avoid it or spend time on it, opinions abound. How do you feel about it? These writing prompts have text with them for the first six, and then no text just images for the rest. There is one coloring page for any children who may have to endure a writing class.

Some of the images will appeal to some writers. Take some time to look over the images and then think of possible writing pieces,. When inspired, take one and begin. These writings may be quick warm-ups, for fast-finshers for teachers, or perhaps will develop as full stories. 

Most social media has an app. When apps first came out, how did you feel about them? Yay or nay? Did your thinking change? I never thought I would end up with so many apps on my phone that my daughter would be surprised. What is your favorite?

Ah, love. Love by messages and texting and emojis. Who would have ever thought? How do you feel about such relationships? Have you or would you use social media in this way? 

Emojis! Fun or not? Which ones do you use? Which ones do you like? Why did these become popular? Why are there more and more and more and more emojis? Do they convey feelings well? 

Has this happened to you, or do you observe this - people gather but most are on their phones? Do you think they are investing with Morgan Stanley as they claim in the commercials? If everyone is looking at a phone, do you also look at yours? Sometimes this is appropriate, like when in a doctors office which is basically not a social situation. Sometimes it is a social situation, yet people do not warm up right away and it may just be to avoid looking awakward. Does it ever seem appropriate or odd? 

It is true that talking to people around the world, family when traveling, and keeping in touch with those who have moved away is easier by technology. Much easier. Remember long distance calls back in the day, or even when iPhones first came out and minutes were part of the bill? Is this something you like? Or do people contact you too easily? 

I have a 96 year old friend who is tech savvy. She uses Zoom to take classes and talk to people. She is still writing books and can easily send the manuscripts to others for proof-reading. She uses instant messenger. Amazing how it helps her cope with living in a care home! Do you know anyone who might use technology to help stay connected to others that would otherwise probably not be possible? 

What might this son be texting to his father? There is an old joke. The son writes from college, Dear Dad, no mon, no fun, your Son. The father answers, Dear Son, too bad, so sad, your Dad. What might a conversation be like today? 

Some people take photos of everything they do. Annoying or intersting? Many times the photo captures something that looks nice, but around the rest of the scene there is a mess. Photos can give an illusion of having everything all together when it is not really so. What do you think?

School in the times of Covid. Do you have a story about trying to learn online, or hearing about others trying to do so? 

And, finally, the selfie. What do you like or dislike about selfies? or group selfies, usies?

Thank you for reading. 

Happy writing!

Carolyn Wilhelm
