Start-Up Activity
Let your students know that creative thinking doesn't involve right or wrong answers; it seeks all kinds of possibilities. Creative thinking pushes the boundaries and may even be a little wild and goofy. To inspire your students' creative thinking, have them do the following activities:
- Write your name backward (and pronounce it)
- Give your address 20 years from now.
- Write what a dog would say to a cat if they could speak. Write what the cat would say back.
This chapter will give students specific strategies for developing their creative thinking.
Think About It
“Passion is one great force that unleashes creativity, because if you're passionate about something, then you're more willing to take risks.”
—Yo-Yo Ma
