Make It Your Own

Optional theme: a place that changes overnight. Invent a character who wants something small. Draw or write one way the character tries to get it. You may draw, write or tell your idea. Use invented characters and places; no personal information or upload is needed. This activity is not scored.

Reflect on your choices

  • State the want clearly before adding details.
  • Explain one intentional choice and one possible alternative.
  • There is no required style or single correct creative response.
