Many creativity research programs are narrowly focused on one aspect of creativity to the exclusion of others; an integrative focus will help move the field forward.
This post asks a variety of questions about creativity (quoting from post below):
* What is (a) creative (product)?
* How is creativity achieved (the process)?
* Who is creative/what makes someone crative (the person)?
* What conditions (historically/everyday) are conducive to creativity (the press)?
These questions are then explored, with information form a variety of other sources included.
Recent articles in the news have suggested that creativity in childen is decreasing. This post provides a look at this issue from perspectives that may be new to you as well as the author's perspective on "what factors are necessary for Genius."
This is the second video of four that describe how to "write" a story that you will be filming. From this page you will be able to find the first of the four and links to the additional two.
The first video discusses the need to understand the four P's:
* People: Who is in the story?
* Place: Where does the story take place?
* Plot: What is the conflict and the journey?
* Purpose: Why should anyone care about this?
The second video discusses the need to do research and to find keywords that relate to People, Place and Plot.
The third video moves on to the final preparation work that needs to be done before filming.
The fourth video brings it together and provides a link to worksheets that you can download and use.
If you are introducing storytelling to your students, or doing it yourself for the first time these videos provide a background that will help make your project successful.
