An adult can read each short fictional sentence aloud. A character is someone in a story. Find who performs the action, rather than naming the place or object. You can invent characters very different from yourself.

Make It Your Own

Optional theme: a surprising delivery. Draw or tell a story about an invented character. Give the character one action and a place. An adult may write down your words. 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

  • Point to the character separately from the setting.
  • Explain one intentional choice and one possible alternative.
  • There is no required style or single correct creative response.
