This tool could be used in creative writing and enhancing the use of imagination at any grade level.
Students that have difficulty finding a starting place would find this approach helpful. It would also reduce barriers for students who have a hard time keeping themselves on track. The student has the ability to choose and write about whatever artwork interests them.
