Imaginarium
A Five-Unit Program to Teach Creative Writing

Adrienne Raphel
Inspire your students’ creativity with Imaginarium!

The Imaginarium program gives students the opportunity to invent a magical new world with creative writing. Through their writing, students populate this world with creatures, superheroes, spells, constellations, and holidays. They draw on a rich array of resources to make their worlds as robust and lively as possible—from maps to myths to cookbooks to folklore to today’s newspaper. Imaginarium flexes students’ writing, language, and com­munication muscles: by creating new worlds, they become more immersed in the world around them.

The Imaginarium curriculum can be used by any teacher to build creativity. The program includes a wide variety of writing activities that tie to Common Core Standards for Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language, and help students develop more innovative and complex creative writing pieces.

Imaginarium includes flexible units that can work in a number of settings:
  • in the classroom
  • in after-school programs
  • as a week-long camp
  • as homeschooling curriculum
Additional resources are also included that extend the creative writing activities into other curriculum areas.
