Intended for writing teachers, the activities in this issue blend right/left brain lessons--kinesthetic, spatial, and playful--to provide students with prewriting experience. The activities include the following: (1) creativity olympics, such as finding criteria by which large groups of students may subdivide themselves into successively smaller groups, and story line relays in which each player adds three words at a time to a story; (2) finding words or developing opinions on a continuum from one extreme to another; (3) "about me" projects; and (4) Tom Sawyer projects.
