상자 밖에서 생각하기! 높은 능력 학습자를 위한 창의성(7-9세)

Creativity is intelligence having fun. ~Albert Einstein

Through tons of hands-on and verbal exercises, this class teaches the four traits of creative thinking:  flexibility, fluency, originality, and elaboration.  This highly interactive class will push learners to think outside of the box and design clever responses and solutions to open-ended tasks.  Students will interact with one another through discussions, games, drawing, construction, and presentations of their creations.

Day 1: spontaneous verbal (fluency), turn of phrase (flexibility), structure building (originality), Once upon a Disaster (elaboration)
Day 2: Circle drawing (fluency), What could it be? (flexibility),  The ten-word story (originality), team draw (elaboration)
Day 3: What could it be? (fluency), creative build (flexibility), structure building (originality),Once upon a Disaster (elaboration)
Day 4: spontaneous verbal (fluency), Trash to Treasure (flexibility), spirit animals (originality), scribble drawing (elaboration)
Day 5: spontaneous verbal (fluency), What could it be? (flexibility), structure building (originality), Once upon a Disaster (elaboration) 
Day 6: Extra, extra (fluency), new use (flexibility), Designing for...(originality),  musical creativity (elaboration)
Day 7: spontaneous verbal (fluency), What could it be? (flexibility), box build (originality), Once upon a Disaster (elaboration) 
Day 8: meme maker (fluency), movie maker (flexibility) Haiku (originality), kit maker (elaboration) 

I believe in flexibility, and allowing student interest and questioning to guide the course.  Therefore, this is an estimation of how time will be spent:
5 minutes: greet and share- everyone deserves a turn to be heard!
10 minutes: fluency activity
10 minutes: flexibility activity
10 minutes: originality activity
10 minutes: elaboration activity
5 minutes: wrap-up

It is very important to me that students have an opportunity to feel a sense of belonging and community.  My primary goal in offering this course is to allow your student to learn something while getting to interact with peers.  While the course will encourage creative and divergent thinking, I am most interested in encouraging socialization and fun among high ability learners.

I will always stay an extra 5-10 minutes to help a struggling student when it is needed!  I am also very comfortable working with twice-exceptional children, but please let me know in advance how I can best assist to minimize frustration and maximize learning!
