For my Capstone, my former sixth-grade teacher and I collaborated on a creative project for her students to engage and grasp more in class. As a student, I’ve always struggled to concentrate in class and would get lost in my thoughts, doodling in my notebook. However, everything changed after I entered SLA. All of the creative writing assignments and benchmark projects made me want to do more and look forward to school. This made me ponder how much more interesting middle school would have been if we had more creative assignments. As a result, I made the decision to return to my old school and try to make some positive changes.
