Today I stumbled upon the “Build Yourself Wild” website! After creating the wild version of myself the creative potentials of this site hit me. Why not have students design the “Wild Hybrid Version of Themselves” and then write a story about their transformation. This is a perfect fun idea for engaging students with becoming creative writers.

CREATING WITH BUILD YOURSELF WILD

• Go to the Build Yourself Wild Website
  • Create your wild self
    • Click Start

• Choose body
• Choose from the different body parts and background
• When finished click “I’m Done”
• Save your wild self to the desktop
• Insert the “Build Yourself Wild” image file into a Google Doc or Google Slide

Students will write a story using the “Build Yourself Wild” image as their inspiration. This visual will support the student with writing details about character and setting. Their “Wild Self” may also inspire an adventurous story. Unlock the student’s imagination by letting them create their “Wild Self.”
