Creative Writing Prompt

With the Common Core comes the demand of complex texts and informational writing and essays that synthesize multiple texts. At the same time, we cannot totally neglect the importance of creative writing and encouraging students to express themselves through writing. Here's a quick and easy picture writing prompt which allows student to do just that :)
 If you could have dinner with anyone, living or dead, in this location, who would you choose and why?
