Work-reflection, description, essay or cover letter …If there is such a homework in the diary and during full-time and distance learning, then, let’s face it, you often want to postpone this task. Was it? -yes,for sure. Writing on your own is a big and considerable work, first of all for yourself. Thinking, speaking, style of expression…Therefore, we offer a selection of creative exercises to try to «stay fit» and «find» that to say under many circumstances of your life. And not only during the school period

«Skyscraper of ideas»
We can discuss «on chocolate» that the most difficult thing in a work is time … – not to write by yourself work, and come up with a title or name. Let’s try the popular exercise Scyscaper of ideas. You will like it as many other students and teachers. Quickly draw a table of two columns on the sheet of paper, it is possible without a ruler. Title the first column «Nouns in the nominative case, specific», the second – «money changers in the family case, abstract». In the first column for example, write the following words: apartment / house, computer, slippers, pillow, toy, even pajamas .. -a number of specific nouns is possible continue at your discretion or taste or specify the ones you see right in front of you at this point. In the second column opposite the first noun, please write down associations, emotions, experiences that causes this or that thing. Please remember that in the second column we collect abstract nouns. Boom, is the table full? Then read what comes out. Titles, headlines are funny, unexpected and fan? So here, check that out once you came up with .. teachers: «Jacuzzi robots», «TV of the soul», «Makeup of conscience». If I wanted to, then I wouldn’t invent so. Yes, teachers at heart in fathe can and want to be creative.
«Stream of consciousness»
Many of us have heard such a clever term as «Stream of consciousness». Hmmm, there is no confidence in explaining a lot – we’d better try. 15 or 30 minutes – what time do you want to choose for this exercise? Set an alarm and to the signal let’s write down our thoughts, without analyzing and not arguing with an «inner critic» say to him that today is his day off. This exercise allows you to feel inner freedom, which sometimes helps to reduce the «height» of barriers that stop writing, helps to find your style etc. You can even have a separate notebook «Start» just for this exercise. Name it secretly, some computer code, or how do you want …!!
«It will be …» Team creative letter
This exercise may not be performed as well as play. We with friends played in a coffee shop one autumn day. Why would not brew tea and play at home with family? And here the house turns into a creative coffee shop. For first you need to choose a top or relevant topic for you. Follow this question plan (one of the options): Where? When? What are certain will people do there? How will they do it? What will they feel? We do not take the perfect piece paper. At the beginning we write the question «Where?». Someone from the creative writing team answers, then wraps his answer so that the next the participant has not read, writing the answer to the question «When?», and so on form a secret manuscript. And the most important condition unfold the manuscript at the beginning when available the answer to the last question of the agreed list, and read a new work.
#Livecovers
Inspired by the masterpieces of #artathome, Ukrainian children’s book space #Barabuka invites us to «make friends» and to support modern Ukrainian literature. How is it made? Well, quite simple and creative. Choose favorite children’s book; fantasize and reproduce cover; tag the creators of the book (authors, illustrators, publishers); add a hashtag #Livecovers on social networks, for example, Facebook; invite friends to a flashmob. One-two or three, start and pass the button.
«Naughty prefix»
One day, in pre-quarantine times, I read a big work. I «met» on its pages Mysterious Tupki. (Yes, by the way, probably what was said about actions). But the usual interjection turned out creative, right? A new word (or neologism), reminiscent of some mysterious hero, even several stomping around and entertaining students during distance learning. Mysterious Dumb, there are assumptions – friends with Naughty Prefixes with creative exercise of the same name from the famous writer Gianni Rodari. How to understand from where they have come, such Prefixes? Here is a plan of creative action.
1. Please write a number of random words: objects, concepts, etc.
2. Choose the prefix you like.
3. Try adding this prefix to words from the first line.
4. Please look at what was formed, and try to come up with a short explanation or a biography of a new work … or a new character.
The Zhytomyr.Travel team wishes everyone good health and inspiration!
