Let's get creative!

• Grab a piece of paper and a pen
  
• Write down something/someone you love in the middle of the paper
  
• Without thinking too much write down as many words as you can around the something/someone you love: words that come to mind when you think of it (mindmap)
  
• Bring to next class!

I found my sock

beneath the bed

‘Where have you been

all week?’ I said

 

‘Hiding away!’

the sock replied.

‘Another day on your foot

and I would have died!’
