Choose from a variety of photos. Then drag and drop nouns, adjectives, adverbs, verbs, prepositions, and punctuation to create your own description with a few words long or a whole paragraph. Change the tense of the verbs and the form of the nouns (plural, possessive, capital). You may also Freestyle (write your own caption using the words you know). You may email your PicLit to your teacher or friends. You can also save it in the Public Gallery and view other PicLits. Here are some ideas for using PicLits in the classroom. See how PicLits may be used for creativity.
