Seize the Moment: Moving from Monotony to Creativity when Composing

When composing, Clay instructs us to, ‘Start up a conversation, guided by all you know about this child. Talk about something that you feel sure he would be interested in.’ In this session, we will examine ways to help all students create authentic, meaningful and exciting stories that build upon their interests, creativity and passions.
