Pea is for Ponder

Students can use this creativity page to draw something that keeps them up at night, and then brainstorm a way to conquer it.

The prompt for this handout is as follows: "In the story The Princess and the Pea, the title character is kept awake by the smallest thing—a little ole pea! Sometimes, in life, the teeny-tiniest things can be the most bothersome and keep us awake at night. What keeps you awake at night? What is your “pea?” Is it a tricky math problem, a spooky shadow at the window or something else entirely? Use the blank space below to draw your “pea,” then, next to it, draw something that can help you conquer it and get to sleep! After you draw, share it with a friend and see if they have any more ideas to help you conquer your “pea.”"
