This creative writing activity is a lot of fun and often ends up with some hilarious results. By combing 2 or more of the 8 objects on their worksheet, students must create a new invention.
You can lay out some ground rules that the invention must be practical if you like but the craziest inventions are the funniest. You will get new inventions like laser glasses that blend things, shoe locks with alarms, fire drills, gluedozers, and hairdryer selfie cameras.
Students should give their invention a title or name, describe what it is used for, who would buy it, and how much it costs. Once their whacky invention descriptions are complete, students can present them to the class.
