Not a Box by Antoinette Portis was used to launch “Genius Hour” with students from a grade 2/3 class. After reading the book, students used small white boards to tap into their imagination and draw a box that could be transformed into anything. The goal was to create something within a short period of time. Students then shared their drawings with each other.
