Creative Writing Prompts

Update: There is a website that does a similar thing from Scholastic here.

Here's another app I found on FreeTech4Teachers.com called Brainstormer. If you're looking for a quick and unique way to generate writing prompts this might be for you. Here's the bit from his website:

Brainstormer is an app that started out as a website in 2009. The web version has been replaced the the iPad app that quickly generates story starters for you. The basic Brainstormer app has three wheels of words and themes that you can spin. You can spin each wheel separately until you have a combination of words that you think you can use. When you have selected a story starter you can share it with others through email, Twitter, or Facebook. That’s all there is to the basic Brainstormer app. You can add more words and themes to the app through in-app purchases of character creator and world builder.
