Imagine that you have just learned a new magical spell. What is this spell, and how do you use it?

This role-play scenario encourages students to get creative with the idea of magic and its potential uses. The need to detail the effects of the spell and its possible ramifications can stimulate critical thinking as well. The spell can be anything from the mundane to the magnificent.
