Scaffolding for Pain and Imagination

• Write words on the board
• Ask students to come up and write

• Play the pain game. Does this hurt? Does that hurt? Does it feel painful? Does that feel painful?
• Play the imagination guessing game. What am I thinking? What animal is in my imagination?

• Difference between words. Students must say “pain” or “imagination”
  • I don't want to do my homework (pain)
  • I am a happy pony (imagination)
  • I hurt my finger (pain)
  • I have one million dollars! (imagination)
  • I am so hungry now (pain)
  • I have a big sandwich (imagination)

• Write conversation on the board:
  • A: Ouch! I just hurt my finger! It is such a pain.
  • B: Do you need a band-aid?
  • A: Yes, but I do not have one.
  • B: Yes you do. You just need to use your imagination.
  • A: Wow, a band aid! Thank you for helping.
  • B: It's no problem. But I also have a pain.
  • A: What is it?
  • B: I did not finish my homework yet.
  • A: Yes you did. You must use your imagination.
  • B: Oh, wow! My homework is finished now! But…. but…..
  • A: What?
  • B: The teacher does not have imagination.

The conversation can be something else too.

• If there is more time, the students will write the entire article. Doing this is worth 100% for this class! But there will probably not be that much time because of the group conversations above.
