Need interesting lesson plans for your students' use to prepare for standardized testing? Have you thought of using photographs as writing prompts?

The Southern Regional ETTC and The Press of Atlantic City have collaborated to offer area educators source of wonderful photographs published by the Press and selected as "Picture Of The Week" winners by Press Photo Editor Gary Shivers. These photographs can be used as writing prompts by teachers and students preparing for the ESPA, GEPA and other standardized tests. The accompanying stories and captions are available in this site as well.

Press Education Editor Diane D'Amico and Press Photo Editor Gary Shivers helped to compile the stories and photographs.
