Writing: a day without the electrical loop
Classroom Activity
for 5-11

What Happens During this Activity
You might have a story in your library that involves electrical circuits, or a poem, or any other starter. The idea here is to engage in some counterfactual thinking, in the context of writing fiction, to enable children to come to see how much they rely on electrical loops.
