Writing Activity for Kids
Here’s a writing activity I sometimes use with kids when I teach writing workshops:
1) Choose your favorite animal
2) Make a list of things this animal can do better at than humans.
3) Now make a list of things humans can do that this animal CAN’T do. What might your animal do instead? For example: a dog can’t open a door. He might solve that problem by barking until someone comes and opens the door.
4) Write a story about your animal and make the animal the main character. Use examples from each of your lists.
5) Share your story with a parent, teacher or friend. Discuss how your story would be different if the main character was a human instead of an animal.

LitCharts is a service that provides condensed outlines and summaries of classic literature. The outlines and summaries are far shorter than those you would find in Sparknotes or Cliffnotes. Most of the outlines and summaries are ten pages, give or take a page or two. What I like about LitCharts is that they color code the themes addressed and symbolism within a particular work. The color coding makes it easy to quickly pick out the themes and symbols in each chapter of a book. LitCharts can be viewed online, downloaded as PDFs, or accessed through iPhone apps.

Math Snacks are short animations and mini-games designed to present mathematics in a very different way. In fact, we hope these snacks don't look like traditional math at all. Math Snacks give students, especially those who don't particularly like math, another way to look at math concepts.
