Students love nothing better than personalizing their space--desk, bedroom, or even their cars. This article describes a classroom challenge that gives students a chance to let their spirits soar with the invention of a new form of wall treatment. A trip to a big box store might prove to be most helpful for students to visualize their new product ideas and also to see if anything similar is already available for purchase. Here they could speak with home decorating professionals about how new products make it to the store shelves and what are currently considered to be hot new ideas. Is there a place in your school where some new invented wall coatings may be tried out? Is there a section of the classroom where this might be done? Can a piece of wall be set up in the classroom for students to try their ideas and display them side-by-side with the work of other students? Give your students room to display their new wall coverings in creative and novel ways. They can discuss the manual techniques they used to create the coverings and perhaps even write up instructions for others to follow--thereby getting additional practice in written communication skills!
