This activity was connected to the menu activity. With the students we created a collage of what their ideal/imaginary restaurant would look like. They had to keep in mind a colour palette.

Last Thursday, I wrote out a series of creative drawing prompts and piled them in a bowl for my ‘Teen Zone’ attendees/teens to randomly select. One of my teens selected a drawing prompt that required you to draw a self-portrait within a 10 minute time frame. The self-portrait could have been in any style you wished, as long as it represented you. Here are some of the results :)

Another drawing prompt that was selected within this pile of creative drawing prompts was to draw the person next to you or across from you within a 5 minute time frame. Again, the portrait could have been done in any style they wished, as long as it represented their subject. Unfortunately, I only captured one of the partner’s drawings, as it must’ve forgotten to capture the other one ;( Nonetheless, here is an amazing created based on this drawing prompt!

Hi again! Here are the creative drawing prompts I came up with for my group last Thursday :)) As you can see, lots of the prompts included short time frames and this was a way for me to challenge the teens. However, the teens begged for extra time, hence why the drawings are very detailed 🤣

Enjoy reading,

Activity: Insects in the Winter - sleeping, coccooning in blanket, or , storytelling?

# data[].attributes.body
What do insects do in the winter? Sleeping until the spring? Reproducing? Coccooning in their little knitted blankets? Fermenting cabbage? Youths had to write a short story using realism or imagination. What do insects do in the winter? Do they go to the insectarium? Build snow nest? Hide at the public pool sauna? Youths got to show their favorite insects and I got to show them visuals of some of mine. Stories varied... apparently insects go to the nail salon in the winter, count numbers, build snow man, hide under our beds. Who would have none :P d

One of the activitity I have faciliated for Black Month History. It is inspired by the book All That She Carried --The Journey of Ashley’s Sack, A Black Family Keepsake by Tiya Miles. It tells traces of a single object handed down through generations to illuminate the lives left out of the archives--

In 1850s South Carolina, Rose, an enslaved woman, faced a crisis: the

imminent sale of her young daughter Ashley. She quickly packed a

cotton bag with a few items. Rose and Ashley would never be reunited,

and, decades later, Ashley’s granddaughter Ruth embroidered this

family history on the sack in spare, haunting language. The book is a story of resilience, love, collective memories.

Part 1: Youths responded to the prompt: If you could pack all the ways you feel the love (objects, materials, emotions etc) and share love, what would you put in your bag to gift to a loved one? How are you generous with your love? Would you put your favorite jewerly? Food? Clothing? Book? Words?

Responses varied: plushies, airplane, nuts, grand-maman, beetles, a unicorn. Some bags are bigger than other hehe

ACTIVITY: Spring Tenderness and Returning Ecology 🐞🌱🍄💚🪺

# data[].attributes.body
For this 45min activity, youths were engaging with the themes of Spring tenderness and returning ecology (giving back to nature, reciprocity explained as giving offerings to plants and animals). A week ahead of playing the game, we came up with these words that I put in a canva template I’ve created to play our game. For the game, I have put in a gardening pot all different numbers and letters associated to the Spring tenderness sheet, similar to Bingo (eg., F1 (which would be ´grenouille’ on the game grid. )). We would go around and drum roll (at ant 🐜volume, so very quiet hehe) until

one participant would pick a paper in the pot which would determine the classroom

prompt. For eg, participant A would pick the combo associated to nest and all the class would draw a nest on their sheets. They had a few minutes per drawing, then we would picked a new prompt.

Combining a land-based pedagogy and game-based was so succesful!!! Youths were so engaged it was truly a magical activity. I absolutely love the response they created and observing how different one drawing would be from another. My class varies in ages, from 2-16 years old and all participated with true motivation. Yeah :-) feel free to carry this activity in your placements !!

Hi everyone! Courtney and I are doing our internship with the International Students Association at Concordia. This is an activity we did with the students where they created the menu for their own imaginary restaurant. We took a look at typography and calligraphy and the psychological impact they whenever we read anything.
