Activity: Box of Ideas

Level: All levels
Materials: A large box, index cards


Place miscellaneous items in a large box or container. They can be anything. For instance, a notebook, an old hat, a candle, an old photograph, a baby shoe, a stapler, a flower, and so on.

Have a student pick an object and show it to the class. Students have ten or fifteen minutes to write a short essay about the object. Remind them to include an introduction, a well-developed body and a conclusion to their stories.

You can also have students choose the type of text they will write. It can be a narrative, a poem, a newspaper article, a song, an advertisement, and so on.

When the time is over, have students share their stories with the class.
