Video Writing Prompts

These worksheets use short videos to spark imagination and help students practice storytelling in English. Each worksheet guides students through three steps:

1. Watch, Imagine – View the video and think about the story, characters, and events.
2. Pause – Pause at the recommended time stamp for students to brainstorm the story.
3. Organize – Use the graphic organizer to plan ideas for what will happen next.
4. Write – Create the story using the organizer and your ideas. Share in pairs before finishing.
5. Check – Watch the end of the video and see whose story was the most similar or different to the ending.
