Building Your Own Story and Letting Your Mind "PLAY"

Ok. So let's put some of the ideas discussed in the previous page to work. One of the best ways to get our minds to be creative is to let it play. Below is a link to click on that will take you to a site that will allow you to build your own story. You are only going to put in fragments of information. When you are done, it will map out a story for you. At the bottom of the story, you have to option to add your own details to the story.(But before you go, copy the URL above so you can return to this page. You will have to paste it in the tool bar to return.)

Here's another activity you can use to be a bit creative if writing stories is not your "thing." Click the link below to go do a "Poetry Splatter." (Follow the same directions to return to this page.)

Click this link to "Splatter" some poetry!

Here is a poem of mine I wrote about the course I took:

BEHAVIOR!!!! OH WHAT A THING!?!?

So let me say thanks, to you, Oh master Paul.

Because it's reality, "I" am now, not sure of at all.

So watch as I try to sum it up, and use to extent, the precious in puts,

to sort this out and give to you, some story of mine,

"I" will call... out puts.

So synapses you speak of,

and the tiny neurons to boot.

Influencing my....Well, my everything,

Including the color of my suit.

So now, Oh Paul, "I" am in quite a quandry!

For what am "I" to do?

For you just insisted on telling me, that red is green, and green is blue?!?!

Now on to mood! "I" am angry! "I" am sad.

And now that "I" realize that, "I" am all the sudden... glad!

The nervous system that we have, Oh! How wonderful and great!

Paul, "I" have to say to you, My mind is in a random state.

And to you! Ms. Dickenson. "I" must salute.

For you convinced me of my brain and the sky.

But "I" must say of you, "I" am not completely sure.

And, well, dont feel too badly.

Because the same can be said for me, myself, and "I".

So to you, Paul, "I" say thanks and continue your wonderful way,

Of convincing me only of uncertanty, and that night is now... day!

Well! I hope that you learned a bit about what diversity there exists among all readers. Most of all, I hope you had fun learning about it. If we create ways to educate the many different kinds of brains that exist, we will ultimately reach more students. Please be sure to check back from time to time for changes to come!!!!
