The Pencil Metaphor

What kind of teacher are you? 
I love this blogpost, and I am reposting it here. Thank you Elizabeth Charles and Teach Thought.com!

By the way, I am somewhere between the SHARP ones and the LEADers! 

License Plates...Soy de Clearwater, Florida

I have to admit, I stole this wonderful idea from a high school Spanish teacher in Pinellas County.  But, I did add my own creative flair and parameters to it! Students were asked to create personal car License Plates as a writing and speaking prompt for language class.
Attached are my Activity Instructions, as well as my students' work as examples.
Happy creating and speaking!
