TeachingHooks has been created to answer the call of many friends and colleagues in the teaching profession - the need for high quality, accessible, thought-provoking real-life images in one easy-to-use portal.
The engaging real-life images are to be used as visual writing prompts, which are fantastic to help spark creativity and stimulate imagination. We have all looked at an image which has either evoked memories of a previous experience or started to conjure up a story in our mind, to take us away from the real world for a moment.

- Images could be provided on-screen in order each day through our easy-to-use portal.
- The young writer could choose an image each day from the selection for one week or a term.
- You could print a selection for the week, and allow the young writer to choose each day.
- Young writers could be given a time limit; limited number of words or lines; or a focus i.e. short story, poem, factual description, news report, recount.
- Discussion could take place between you and your young writer before they put pen to paper. Ask questions of the young writer to allow them to focus on what they can see within the image, and what they might be able to infer.
