From the author

Students write and draw in a T-shirt outline to introduce themselves. Eleven favorite prompts cover a game or toy, sport, movie, place, song, food, color, fruit, sweet, book and school subject. The page also includes a name space, portrait box and an imagined animal prompt.

Model a short response, then invite students to share selected details with classmates. Completed shirts can be cut out for a display.
