1) Warm Up: Creative Writing - Be a Movie Writer (5 min + 3 to share)

1. Choose one of the following to respond to.
2. Write for 5 minutes. You may add doodles. Stuck? Write "starfish" until you think of something else to write.

3. Reading/Writing: List what would be in it.
4. Kinesthetic: Build it with stuff in the box on your table.
5. Multimodal: Mix things from above.
4. Circulate around the room adding on to other groups' ideas so that each classroom would rock for all learners!
