For encouraging self-reflection to give students low-risk opportunities to read their work out, these creative extension activities can be a great change of pace for students. With spring officially upon us, many students are starting to fixate on the end of the year creeping over the horizon. Switching up routines or introducing new types of activities can be a highly effective way to keep students focused and learning until summer break arrives. To that end, we’ve put together some creative ideas  to motivate and engage students. Some of them might require a bit of customization on your end, but others are ready for students to run with on their own time.
