Writing prompt idea/class project: invite your students to write an adventure story (or poem) about the travels of a leaf. Main Idea: students are encouraged to imagine a leaf being blown off a tree and being carried various places by the wind. Where will the leaf go? What types of places or people will it pass? How far will it travel? Where will it finally end up? The "leaf" idea will inspire creative thinking & is lots of fun! Here's the (PDF) worksheet to get you started: Leaf Story-Planner

Recipe Project: Teachers, challenge your students to create/write a gross meal or snack that would be a special treat in Marvin's world. Ask each student to share their idea with the class. Download the MONSTER DINER worksheet to the right.
