dents had to write a word that began with the
Iast Ietter oftheprevious word Another activ
ity wasto create a story by gving every student
an opportuntyto participate A student couId
take a note card and write a sentence fragment
ontheir notecard It wouId then be taped on
the MTCC Bridge windows so that other stur
dents couId see it Another student couId then
continue the story by adding anothersentence
fragment

The main activity that many stur
dents participated in was the painting activ
ity This is where students were abIe to use the
manypainting coIors that were made avaiIabIe

by the SWAP organization, and use them to
express themseres by creating a drawing next
