QR Code Writing Prompts

If you haven't been able to tell I LOVE using QR codes in my classroom.  I just love the "randomness" factor for lack of a better word.  I was thinking about different ways to use QR codes in the classroom and loved the idea of using them for writing prompts.  The basic idea is that a students choses a card, scans it, sees a writing prompt and then write about it.  Since my students (kindergarten) are not quite at this level yet (although now that I'm writing this my brain is thinking of how I can modify this for them... more to come latter :-) I decided to make some that one of the older classes could use. 

I found a FANTASTIC site for writing prompts here: http://writingprompts.tumblr.com/page/55
This man has created so many wonderful, creative, and fun writing prompts.  Since they are all presented in a nice way (I hope he doesn't mind).  I clicked on the pictures of prompts that I thought would be best for the age group of kids I was working with (3rd, 4th, and 5th) and created QR codes to those pictures.  Then I cut them out laminated them (just so they could be used more than once without getting bad) and gave them to the teacher.  I think she uses them as a "I'm done now what" and has the students pick out one, scan it and then write.

 
If you would like a copy of the ones I made you can find them here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7rxkDqYdsHMZnB3b3B0ZDgyUlE/edit?usp=sharing
