You Write The Hits!
Do you enjoy listening to music? Going to plays? Are you a talented writer? Well sign up for Play Writing/Song Writing and try your hand at writing about life, love, romance, comedy, and much, much more! Every play begins with a well written script and songs begin with an experience captured on paper. So- come explore the art of play writing and song writing. Make your own masterpiece or write a short act for a play, or write a song for all the world to read. Who knows, your work may become famous!


Tour the World…travel
Do you enjoy traveling, or have a strong desire to visit far-away destinations? You have a chance to discover and explore exotic countries, cities, and secreted nooks throughout the world. Just like the TV shows, No Reservations and Globe Trekker, you too can learn about outdoor adventures, historical sites, different cultures, and traditions. Take Me Away…without the pricey cost of an airline ticket. Maybe you would like to create your own travel guide, focusing on outdoor expeditions, food, local people, and culture. Where would you like to go? It’s up to you!


Lights…Camera…Action!
They say film is a language, so what about seeing movies in another language? Shouldn’t they be just as interesting and just as good as anything coming out of Hollywood? Explore what lies beyond the multiplex. Talk about what makes movies work and what we can understand even without reading the sub-titles. See movies from abroad, express your opinions, discuss what you learn and don’t forget your passport!


Let’s Party!
Do you want to learn how to plan for a big event? Enjoy being a host at a gathering? Are you organized…. like planning things? Are you always looking forward to celebrations and special occasions, such as, graduations, weddings, birthdays, holidays, or even political rallies? Are you a people person who enjoys working with others and are always flexible and open to ideas? Can people count on you to make an event or party a success? Sign up for event planning and let’s see what kind of host you can be.


Billy Blanks, Richard Simmons, and YOU!!!
What do these people have in common? They all have become famous fitness instructors in recent years. Have you ever thought about being famous? Are you into fitness? Do you like to work out to music or videos? Have you always wanted to show off your athletic skills, dance moves, and exercise techniques? Well, join “Fantastic Fitness” and you can bring all your ideas to light. Whether you are interested in becoming a star, or just want to work out a bit, this could be the team for you.


Calling All Gamers!
Do you like to be part of a team or do you want to learn how to better work with others playing a sport or activity? Are you always making up new rules to the game? Do you ever change how the game is played because you think it should be played differently? Do you always feel like you could learn the game better, or become better at the sport? Would you rather play outside then sit in front of a TV, video game, or at the table doing your homework? Well, join “Sports Fun” and take part in new and exciting team activities.


Cartoons, Comics, and More!
Do you love to draw, paint or simply create works of art? Would you rather be in your own space drawing a picture, creating a caricature, or painting on a canvas? If this describes you then join us in COLORFUL CREATIONS as we come together to create a timeless piece of art, cartoon or comic that future Inman Eagles can remember you by!


"Communication by Design!
Do you like expressing yourself in the most creative way possible? Are words just not enough to get your point across? This extension is for those of you who like to use images (moving and still), music, photographs and any other medium available to you in your approach to story telling. If you like the creative arts (music, visual, written), this is the class for you. We will use multi-media resources to design and develop story-boards, pod-casts, videos, comic strips or just about any other kind of self-expression you can imagine."


What’s It All About?
Do you love to read? Do you enjoy telling others about all the great books you have read? Are you always suggesting a “GREAT READ” to a friend? Do you ever read book reviews? Do you like to write? Join Ms. K’s Book Society and read some great books, then create a blog or review to share your point of view. Your comments will be posted to the Media Center’s new blog, or have your comments posted in the display case outside the Media Center along with a photo of their book’s cover. Sign up and join the fun!
