Scenario:

Mrs. Superslick creates a language arts activity about the creative writing process using the "ACTIVITY" template (found in the "Lesson Templates" section), and shares the document link as well as the template link in the "Lesson Sharing" database.

Mr. Notime needs an activity that will teach students about the creative writing process, but doesn't have countless hours to spend surfing the web to gather materials to create one.

Which choice would you recommend for Mr. Notime?

__Choice 1:__ He should search the web for a pile of materials that will likely have to be downloaded and/or copied. Unfortunately, if he finds material in a Microsoft Office, or similarly proprietary format, he will have to either purchase new software or hope free software, like OpenOffice, will properly convert the material. Once he has finally gathered all the material he needs, he must now sort through it all to make usable by students. Then he must find a format that will allow the material to be posted to the web. This usually results in development of a format that is not easily moved, edited or shared in the future.

__Choice 2:__ Find a creative writing activity in the "Lesson Sharing" database --> copy the direct link --> post for student use.
