Think-Write-Pass

I love giving students space to be creative and silly with their ideas. 

And I love having students write stories together – and sharing their creativity and silliness with one another.

Think-Write-Pass is one of my favorite activities for building a classroom culture of writing and fun. 

When students are free to play with ideas and be their silly selves – the classroom transforms into a place of imagination and creativity.

Here are all the Think-Write-Pass activities I use with my students. I hope they help!
