    The document describes an activity called "The Squiggle" where students draw a single continuous squiggle on paper that represents themselves. They then explain either orally or in writing how their squiggle represents them. The activity is meant to encourage divergent thinking and self-expression through drawing. Variations for different learning levels include having students write an autobiography based on their squiggle or drawing their squiggle in sand and explaining it orally to the teacher.
