Character Creation

To set this up, I wrote the names of about 100 objects, including animals and different types of food, furniture, power tools…anything and everything, onto small pieces of paper. Then I scattered them all over the desks and asked each student to pick at least 3 objects. The next part is to have them create a character that has elements of each object that they’ve chosen. The results were wonderful. It’s a great creative exercise. Here are a few examples:
