Brainstorm! ©22
by Rebecca Gardyn Levington

It’s not always easy to feel creative and inspired, and that’s especially true for
one young student when given a writing assignment. Her foggy mind matches
the gray, cloudy weather outside. But then starting with a plink, a plop, and a
patter, a rain—er, brainstorm of ideas comes pouring down.
Happy memories, big questions, and vivid words and phrases twirl and swirl
around, unlocking ideas and inspiration. And once the student embraces the
storm, she’s on her way to a rainbow of writing possibilities.
