When are you Creative?

When are you Creative?

The aim is for the students to reflect on their creativity before entering the innovative process in the atom model.

1. The teacher asks the students a series of questions:

• When do you get good ideas?’
• Where are you when you get good ideas?
• What do you do when good ideas come to you?
• What do you think helps you to generate good ideas?

2. The students write their answers on post-its and place them on the whiteboard.
3. The teacher and the students review the post-its and group them together trying to identify any patterns, similarities and differences in the post-its.

This activity can be conducted after a chat about creativity with the students to put them into the right mindset for progressing to the elements in the Atom model.
The activity could be done using online tools such as Padlet, virtual whiteboard and breakout rooms in Teams/Zoom.
