Other than your text books where do you come up with writing ideas?

[Gamom3]

Is there a site that has ideas, book or are do you just have a creative writing mind?

I use The Socratic List in Appendix A of Teaching the Classics: A Socratic Method for Literary Education by Adam Andrews. Obviously, we do most of this orally, and I'll continue that as we move through our literature studies. However, I also use the questions for writing ideas, and I'll do that more as their writing skills and literary knowledge increase.

You can do a search for "writing prompts" and even search by grade level.
