Narrative Writing Stimulus Wheels

PDF, Word | 5 pages | Grades: 2 - 6

5 writing wheels that provide stimulus ideas for narrative writing.

Use these stimulus wheels to provide ideas for your students during narrative writing sessions.

Put this resource in a writing center for students to determine a topic for narrative writing; alternatively, the teacher could spin one of the wheels in order to provide a stimulus for the whole class to use.

Five different writing wheels are included, containing 40 different ideas for narrative writing.

This resource pairs nicely with our Writing a Narrative Template.
