Ideas to Jump-Start Your own Creative Interpretations
- Draw Hannah in prayer; decide whether or not to include Eli and God, and if so, how and where to depict them
- Draw a “family portrait” (realistic, stick figures, or abstract) with Elkanah, Penina and Hannah.
- Write a version of Hannah’s prayer in the form of a wordless melody or a song with lyrics
- Create a “mixtape” or playlist of songs that relate to Hannah’s story
- Choreograph a simple dance that expresses Hannah’s prayer, or one of your own
- Create a “living statue” pose that represents how you interpret Hannah’s prayer
- Write down one prayer you have never articulated before
- Write a paragraph about a personal experience you had that feels connected to Hannah’s story
- Summarize Hannah’s story in six words
