Cartoons as Writing Prompts

Need a creative way to motivate young writers?  Here is variation on a writing prompt.  Use a photograph or a cartoon as a writing prompt.  After offering your students a few prompts, you may choose to have them create their own labeled photos and cartoons as springboards for writing or as literacy activities themselves.
