Activities · Independent readers · Original writing
Imagine that a tiny explorer arrives on your desk. A pencil becomes a fallen tree. A notebook becomes a wide plain. What would the explorer call a cup?
Draw a map using shapes for familiar objects. Add a key so another reader knows what the symbols mean. Choose a route from one safe starting point to another.
Leave one blank corner labelled “not explored yet.” A good map can show what its maker does not know. Keep the adventure on paper; you do not need to climb anything.
Pause & wonder
What changes when you imagine a familiar place at a different size?
