My Project

Students often have great ideas for writing; however many students are challenged by trying to organized their ideas. One way students can be assisted in organizing their ideas is through representative play. Role play is one common method, but students may also use small figures or toys to act out a scenario.

Please help me connect my students imagination to their writing skills.

By building this connection now student will learn how to explore their own creativity, which and help them in a variety of ways throughout their education and beyond.
