Project ideas
Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.
Poem-O-Rama
Write, revise, and assemble a chapbook of poems that dramatizes related stories, histories, or ideas. We'll use open-ended prompts to spur the imagination, exploring different forms and poetic devices.
Creative Close Reading
Choose a work of literature -- a novel, a memoir -- to read with a writer's eye (think: taking the motor apart to see why it works and how) and we'll design a creative project to incorporate and respond to the work.
