It was a balmy spring day when my son Will, 11, and I took to a local trail on our “Scavenger Hike”. We brought with us only a list of things to find, a digital camera, and wide-opensenses.
WARM-UP #1: CLOUD SHAPES Warm-up #1: Cloud Shapes. One of the oldest and the best ways to see with your imagination is to look at a cloud and imagine what kind of animal or person it looks like. I'm sure you've done this before. I find the best way to play this is lying flat on your back in the grass and watching the clouds drift by. Make sure you watch long enough to SAMPLE PICTURE PROMPTS This is a double-page spread, showing the page with the larger version of the art on the left and the page with questions for kids to answer on the right.Each page can be printed separately.

A pie-chart or a worm's-eye view of a bird. 6. A sunrise between two mountains, or two letter A's bending a bar, or another bald man at his own surprise birthday party. 7. A zipper, a toothy mout h, or a giraffe walking by a window. 8. USING THE STORY KITCHEN IN THE CLASSROOM Here are some options for using it in the classroom. Have students build their own stories first. Give students the list of choices. Have students choose from each column. Then brainstorm as a class as to how they might combine those elements. It's okay to not have a consensus. Each student can write their own interpretation. KEEP KIDS CREATIVE WEEK Held during the last week of September, National Keep Kids Creative Week is a time set aside to encourage kids to grab hold of their innate creativity and never let go! This year, the holiday is listed in Chase's Calendar of Events. DRAWINGS FROM ASSEMBLIES AND WORKSHOPS: 2010 These are the drawings from schools this year -- another great journey of imagination! Your students can love to write! Here's my new collection of essays on my approach to writing. Each page outlines an aspect of writing, with a practical "Spark of the Day" to help you put it into practice! Old York School, visit #4!BRUCE VAN PATTER
