Synectics is a way of thinking about and comparing things that really aren’t all that much alike, but it’s pretty fun and always becomes very interesting.

 

Write a short paragraph describing a sponge in your own words.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, underline all the adjectives.   Write them here.

 

 

 

List other animals do these adjectives make you think of?

 

 

 

 If you had to be one of the above animals which one would you be?

 

Why that animal?

 

 

 If you were a car, what kind of car would you be? Describe it.

 

 

Now, create a short paragraph, picture, story, poem, or other creative expression that involves how a sponge is similar to the car that you thought of. Use the back of this sheet if you need  more room. Have fun!
