Kids love aliens. I catch kids drawing them all the time when they’re supposed to be doing something else. So why not turn the idea around and make it an assignment to doodle an alien… and write about it! This writing project could turn into a story, a persuasive essay (convince your parents to let an alien stay at your house, etc…), a poem, etc. Do this activity as a fast finisher, as a seat work assignment (10 times!), or give different versions to different kids in your class so there’s even more variety!

Love this idea. So true, my kids are always drawing. We will try it right after spring break.
Let us know how your class likes it and if there are any tips to share with other teachers! Thank!
