IMAGINATION CREATION

a WebQuest for high school English students

by Lara Collins and Jean McCafferty

Introduction | Task | Resources | Process | Evaluation | Conclusion

What??? You don’t want me to write a five-paragraph essay?? What's so magic about the "magic five" anyway?  You mean, I can write another way?  Maybe writing doesn’t have to be BORING!!!

You will:

   Choose from among creative writing activities selected from the World Wide Web.

   Create your own collection of creative writing pieces.

   Publish and share the collection.

The Process

You will:

1.      Browse the resource buttons; push a button category that seems appealing.

2.      Choose an activity and skim the web site listed below it..

3.      If the activity still looks interesting, start creating!

4.      If the activity has lost its appeal, go back to Step 1 and push another button.

5.      When you have located the activity of your choice, start your "Imagination Creation"!

6.      Finish the project before proceeding to a new one. In order to be eligible to earn a superior grade, you must have completed at least seven projects.

7.      Collect a hard copy of your written final projects in your creative writing folder and submit to your teacher. All projects that are not in written form, such as three dimensional, video, and audio, should be clearly labeled before submitting.

8.      Presenting three of your best projects to the class will be the culmination of your efforts.

(Ask your teacher for due date and length requirements.)

                                              Conclusion

Congratulations!  You have just exercised the right side of your brain!  Your creative writing pieces are now collected into your very own IMAGINATION CREATION.
