Students were asked to do found poems based on the story Fear. This student was able to build on the ideas in the story to develop his own.
Because the students were asked to share their ideas, the teacher could observe the extent to which the ideas are new to peers. This student’s ideas were powerful enough to have an impact on his classmates.
I can get new ideas, or reinterpret others’ ideas, in ways that have an impact on my peers.
I get ideas that are new to my peers. My creative ideas are often a form of self-expression for me. I have deliberate strategies for quieting my conscious mind; e.g., walking away for a while, doing something relaxing, being deliberately playful, so that I can be more creative. I use my experiences with various steps and attempts to direct my future work.
