Imagination Stations Project Inc. (Inspiring Natural Curiosity)

We are linking reading program with education and curriculum.   Also, using this opportunity to teach library use and information literacy skills. 

I plan to set up following Imagination stations. Project INC (Inspiring Natural Curiosity.)

Imagine "Whitewater Rosie" is based on a true story. If you were the reporter covering the story, what headline would you choose? What would your first sentence be?

Imagine  "Dark Tree" The author has given the tree human qualities to try to increase the suspense. Select a phrase from the story in which the tree is acting like a human. Try to illustrate it.

Imagine   "Then There Were Three" Think of the sounds you would hear throughout this story.  Create a sound poem using some of the words that come to mind.

Imagine a baseball game.  Write a conversation that might have taken place between two people who watched this baseball game.  They could be ticket holders, other players, sports writers, or people working the concession stands.

Imagine if you had a armadillo's nose.  Usually an armadillo's impressive armour gets all the attention, but its neat nose deserves a look, too. Why do you think its nose is important? Do dome research to find out.
