Art to Writing: Making Connections

This make affords students the opportunity to think outside “doing school” and access the creative sides of the brain while still engaging in critical thinking, reflection, and processing abstract concepts. The example here is for Eastern Philosophy, but it is readily adaptable. The central make is an Altered Book, taking a book destined for the trash heap and remixing it to become an art piece connected to a literary question. There are a number of sites and videos for instruction on the techniques used. The key element in this make is to use the artistic process to consider the literature… Read more »

Photographs into Picture Books

We have tons of pictures we’ve taken in our lives- what if we chose some of those and created a picture book from them? Rather than tell the story of the photograph, we use the photographs to create a whole new story. I used Google Slides to create my story.

Hack Your Writing

In Make Cycle #4 we invite you to “Hack Your Writing.” Maybe you do not think you’re a “hacker” and associate the term exclusively with the most skillful and renegade of computer programmers. But this week we are encouraging a broader use of this term and a more open sense of its possibilities. What does it mean to hack? Hacking is playful exploration, perhaps exploiting the “weakness” in something. To hack is to make innovative customizations. Hackers are often computer enthusiasts. Hackers often undermine authoritative systems. Hackers crack systems for “fun,” pursuing civic or collective action. It seems that now,… Read more »

Meme-Inspired Writing Activity (Character Development)

Many young writers have trouble crystallizing their character’s main desire, secret, fear, or conflict, and how that connects to their play or story at large. This activity uses the structure of memes to help writers begin to hone in on that concept though the use of “meme sticky notes” or “meme portraits.” Version #1 – For Groups To do this activity with a group… 1. Select a meme with a formula that beneficial for exploring character. For example, the Morpheus meme, “What if I told you…” is a great meme to use if you’d like participants to explore character through… Read more »

Memes for summarizing and reflecting

Memes are a great tool to use with students to help them summarize new ideas, or reflect on what they have been learning. The process is really simple and most students are familiar with memes even if they don’t know what they are called. You can ask them to draw their own, my students have done great renditions of grumpy cat in stick figure form, or have them use a meme generator. If it’s your students first time making a meme it helps to give a prompt to think from along with a couple of models or an example you… Read more »

How to Make a Snarky Flowchart

Flowcharts are conversations between the writer and reader. The best flowcharts (for me) are the ones that make me laugh even as I am learning. This Make is all about creating a snarky flowchart in the form of a snarky flowchart. Consider it a Meta-Snark-Chart, if you will.

Rhetorical Toolbox

I wanted to find a way to introduce students to various aspects of literacy needed for 8 grade writing- structures of writing, style, and rhetorical devices. I am working on developing a rhetorical toolbox which consists of taking notes/creating foldables, practicing these skills with various handouts and lessons I’ve found online and incorporating these skills into our genres of writing we will do this year. I have developed a series of lessons for each category for their toolbox that incorporate online games/quizzes and handouts found online. Adapted from: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/preap/teachers_corner/45764.html

Walk Your World

Narrative Pre-write exercise I created using Movie Maker and uploaded to Vimeo. The goal is to stir up memories in the lives of my students so they can create a brainstormed list and/or pre-writes from which to write narratives.
