Students can choose a picture and then drag and drop words from a given list to write a sentence, a message or a poem relating to the picture.  There is also a freestyle option for students to write their own sentences.  Their pictures can then be saved, embedded in a blog or emailed.

Wow--this sounds simple but Writing 3 and 4 teachers should definitely check this out! Drag and drop sentence-building from a word list develops vocabulary and refocuses the activity on syntax, collocations and word form. Students can alter the form of the word and add a capital letter. I didn't see any full stops to finish the sentences though! Freestyle sentence-writing is also well-supported. Each image has a relevant word-list attached--great for developing vocabulary.
