She is based in Burlington, Ontario.

Imagining Worlds & Characters

This activity will teach students about worldbuilding and the relationship between a character and its world. It also poses two different ways of thinking about a concept to inspire creativity. In the space provided on the first page, students can design a character that would inhabit that world. On the second page, students can design the world that the character would inhabit.
