Dear Creators,

We learn through creating. You can read a book about the geography of Colorado and memorize where important landmarks are, but you’ll forget it all unless you use that knowledge to make something–like your very own map.

Creating doesn’t always happen in a workshop. When you’re writing a story or  responding to a text with an argument or big idea, you’re also creating.

But you have to take the knowledge of the world and make something that is all your own. That’s what real learning is.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
