I recently came across Seymour Simon's website. Do you remember Seymour Simon? Here's a few of his MANY nonfiction books for kids.
On his blog he posts questions for kids to research and post about. He gives away his books and responds to their writing. Today's post includes a picture of a baby squirrel with a cast on its arm. Yes, you will say "ah." It would make a great writing prompt. Ask Mrs. Mitchell about her trait lesson on voice using animal picture.
If you are looking for an authentic (and quick) reason to have kids read and write nonfiction, I suggest following this blog. You might stumble across the perfect opportunity.
