Abstract

This creative idea documents the benefits of making and using felt fortune cookies within academic writing as an active learning experience. I used this activity to help learners engage more in depth with academic texts, in particular, how paragraphs and arguments are constructed and supported. It offers an embodied learning experience in that the learners collaborate, move about the room, and physically engage with the fortune cookie artefacts and within the classroom space itself.
