Unicorns are Popular

I show the first graders a character card and they create dialogue--one little girl sees a Unicorn card and starts saying, "I'll help you, Santa!" I tell her that she is thinking of a reindeer and she tells me that the raindeer are sick...I tell her that she can make a bunch of money off of that story if she makes it a children's book!

Fiction Fun

In 5th grade drama, we are creating scenes where I give them two characters and they come up with conversation...these two kids came up with a story between an old man and an artist where the old man wants to hire the artist to paint a picture to be displayed at his funeral. The artist only does skateboart art, so he tries to pose the old man in all these hilarious skating positions to much difficulty. Then we talked about how funny it would be if the painting was displayed at the funeral with this old dude in some crazy skating pose. It seemed like straight off Sienfeld.
