Creating

When you create, you use what you already know to develop new information.

You create when you . . .

  • add some new ideas to the information
  • use the information to imagine something new or different
  • predict what will happen in the future based on this information

This assignment asks you to create something new.

Directions: Imagine that you were running for president and a reporter asked you what you would do to address the problem of bigger and more powerful hurricanes. Write your response.

As president, I would make us better prepared for hurricanes. First, I would increase the budget of FEMA. But I don’t want the agency just to focus on disaster relief. I want them to help communities prepare. FEMA could help improve building codes and add sea walls and other features. In addition, I would work with Congress to pass laws that reduce carbon emissions and increase green energy. These changes will prevent even more violent storms in the future. Finally, I will help fund businesses that are developing new technologies that can combat climate change.
