A student in Dual School was waiting to hear back from someone she emailed. She was on her phone, scrolling through social media and feeling like she had done what she needed to do.
So I asked a simple question, “what if you made a flyer for your first club meeting?”
It wasn’t an assignment or a threat. It was a “what if” question. An open door to possibility.
I recommended canva.com and then for the next 45 minutes she wrestled with questions about what she would call the club, when the first meeting would be, how to make a visually interesting flyer and more. By the end of that time, she had a flyer. She was proud of the work, and she made some meaningful progress thinking through her idea.
All it took was one simple question.
