Instructify

Quick! You need to come up with some writing prompts for your students for a creative writing assignment, but the best thing you can come up with is “What I did on my summer vacation.” You’ve got a a writing emergency on your hands. You need 911 Writers Block to help you out.

911 Writers Block has lots of tools to get your students writing, whether they need a story setting to get them started, some more colorful verbs to punch up their prose, or get them unstuck in a story by having a new character make a dramatic entrance. You can even look up interesting ways to kill off characters.

You can use 911 Writers Block for everything from prompts for daily journal  entries to sending students there when they need fresh ideas. Please remember, though, that 911 Writers Block is a website, not a phone number. Your city’s 911 operators probably wouldn’t be very excited to help you with verbs, and don’t even think about telling them you want to kill off a character. -BILL FERRIS
