Awesome resource for my high school students (and teachers!). I took the survey and clearly need a calming walk and time in nature. Grateful for an upcoming ☀️ weekend!

Julia gave me a fab idea on how to help Ss make decisions about options in a poetry choice board: 1. Take the quiz below ⬇️ 2. Read about your creative type 3. Select prompts/tasks that align with your type 4. Challenge⁉️ Select a task that seems to be the opposite 5. Share! 🎉
