Looking for a good first week activity for your students to do so you can get to know them? Have them draw Google Doodles! These could showcase things they like and/or things they did over the summer months. Google actually has a contest every year and awards various levels of students. Find information HERE.
The past two years I have asked students to create a sketch, using a blank sheet of computer paper and color, to showcase the things they are passionate about or to tell a story of what happened over their summer break. I have been blown away by the creativity the students show as well as the detail they put into the sketch. I have learned a great deal about them through the images and figures they create.
Here are a few of my favorites over the last 2 years.
