Summer Movie Writing Prompts
The summer blockbuster movies are out, and now is a perfect time to encourage your homeschooler to write about these movies.Challenge your child with one or all of the writing prompts below, which are based on the latest cool summer movies:
1. The final part of the Harry Potter series will be in theaters on July 17th. Are you happy the story is over? Do you hope J.K. Rowling will create another book and subsequent movie? Why or why not?
2. Do the Harry Potter movies play out the way the books read? Was your imagination of the characters better than the actual stars chosen for the parts? If so, who do you think would have played the movie roles better?
3. The Smurfs are back at the end of July in a new movie! Have you watched any of the old Smurfs cartoons? If so, how do you think the movie will compare? If not, do you see this reincarnation being a successful one?
4. Winnie the Pooh is opening tomorrow, July 15th. Why do you think a classic like this is always brought back with each new generation of children? What is appealing about this honey loving bear and The Hundred Acre Woods?
