The last few years more and more students are coming to me without any idea of how to use their imagination, write creatively or think outside the box. I would like to start an Idea Workshop, where the students are given materials they can use to get their imaginations working again and have fun writing. If they can learn to enjoy writing again they will write more often and will be able to learn how to use correct grammar, spelling, punctuation and how to think creatively in an exciting way and retain the information they learn for longer periods of time. To help the students have this opportunity I would like to purchase items for various "idea producing" stations. Playdoh, legos, music, story dice, story prompts and mad libs can provide a fun way for the students to make up stories and realize how creative they really CAN be. My hope is that the stories they make up at these stations can inspire them to become better writers.
