Hi,
This week you'll be focusing on breaking out of ordinary thinking and experimenting with being more spontaneous. 
The creative sentence exercise should help you break out of worrying if what you are thinking makes sense - it doesn't need to! 
One of the objectives is to become comfortable being silly- that freedom helps open our minds to think in different ways.
Writing a Haiku poem is probably something most of you have not done before - again, doing something strange and uncomfortable is a good way to break out of that ordinary thinking pattern.

Hopefully, you have had time to look at all the assignments form the past couple of weeks. The totems and Doodles showed how differently everyone thinks and expresses their feelings. They were fun to look at and quite impressive!

One of the objectives of the Paper towel assignment is to understand that most of our first solutions to a problem usually stay within the realm of what we know and are familiar with. Understanding that will then allow you to go beyond what you are familiar with and look for a different solution.
I'm sure that coming up with the first 5 or 6 ideas for the use of a paper towel roll was easy - ist's the last 5 or 10 that really make it difficult and force your brain to go into full creative gear!
Listed below are a few ideas that appeared in almost everyone's list.
If you found more let us know.

telescope
necklace
kaleidiscope
cable/wire organizer
fake sword
megaphone

By now all of you should have your avatar and experienced SL. Let me or Nina know if you need help. 
The Scavengar Hunt should be a fun event. I will let you know when the images are  displayed on the SBCC island and we will have a group meeting/critique.
Enjoy the rest of the week!
