I am a 12th grade English and Creative Writing teacher.  I would like to post an activity that I do in my Creative Writing classes that invites students to be imaginative in an artistic sense.  What they draw based on a very simple drawing of a dotted mask--eyes and nose--leads them to respond with a creative piece of writing--a poem, a dramatic monologue. a scene from a play, a short narrative, or any other form of creative writing inspired by the students' drawings.  Attached is the dotted mask drawing that serves as a springboard for this assignment.  Also included are samples of "masterpieces" that students completed.   A slide show with script and other drawings will be in the second post.
