Reconstruction Lego activity: Each table is shown a structure pre made by teacher using at least 16 different Lego pieces. Students are given the same pieces and told to reconstruct what we showed them after only giving them a limited time to look at our original. We destroy ours so they have to work together communicating how they think ours was made.

We just completed an essay in which the students had to brainstorm, and then determine the theme, in a variety of media. Then, they honed their theme statement into a central idea, and composed an essay. After both self-editing and peer-editing, students had their finished product (an invaluable expository essay)! :)
