Writing Idea Page: Collage

This is a great project for all ages but especially for younger age students. The Writing Idea page offers children the opportunity to create their own collage to assist them during the day, as needed, when writing or inspiration is needed.

For plurilingual students this can be especially beneficial, creating a space for them to share images, text, stickers, and important details about themselves and what inspires them. The text can be in any language and can allow the child freedom to express themselves.
