We introduced ‘Sheet Work’ , a technique that originated from Brittney's research with personal narratives and objects that utilizes a simple white sheet. Sheet work is a transformation tool to support creative expression through the use of props, fluid motion, and endowment. Prior to our exploration with this tool, we invited the students to reflect on what they hold close to them: an item, a memory, a story, etc. One by one, each took to the center of the space to explore using the sheet as a guide to “flow” and express their recollection with words, movements, and imagination.

We utilized a “graffiti wall,” a tool that asked students to brainstorm together without speaking, but rather by responding to written prompts on papers on the wall. Each paper was filled with thoughtful and creative responses to the questions and both the students and staff were delighted with this new tool that they could use in other areas of the village.
