Expanding Creativity

As part of English, I have noticed that some students have a difficult time making stories and expanding their creativity. I have started to incorporate Rory’s Story Cubes into my lessons in order to provide the students with a fun learning experience and opportunity to expand their thinking. The story cubes have been a fun and innovative way for the students to create complete stories with whatever they have rolled. I allow the students to start with three die to make a short story, then expanding their stories as they add more die to their rolls. They are then able to write down the stories that they create, and even tell stories to their classmates. The stories they produce orally or written could be produced as a game as well. The students have been very responsive to this way of creative thinking and writing, having fun along the way to expanding their minds to the various forms of learning.
