“My classes are composed of almost all boys and they LOVE these cards. Out of all of the writing prompts I have, I introduced these first and the boys were actually asking for more time to write.”
With 48 unique cards in 3 different categories (beginning, middle and end of the apocalypse), this resource will keep your students writing enthusiastically for as long as you want.
“I used this a group writing task. The end product ended up as a choose your own adventure book. It was great to keep the ideas and story flowing.”

I’ve used this with secondary (middle and high school) students over the years, and it leads to the students asking for MORE writing time! I am used to teaching mixed-ability classes with EAL students and all my students can rise to this challenge.
My 9-year-old son also saw me making these and asked if he could use them for his writing. With careful selection on my part, he too was thrilled to be able to find new ideas for writing with his zombie fascination.
Designed to be low-ink and printer-friendly, these task cards are sure to be a resource you use time and time again.
Included:
* ideas on how to use the task cards
* 48 different prompts to promote writing, critical thinking and discussion (if chosen)
