Students learn about power generation using river currents. A white paper is a focused analysis often used to describe how a technology solves a problem. In this literacy activity, students write a simplified version of a white paper on an alternative electrical power generation technology. In the process, they develop their critical thinking skills and become aware of the challenge and promise of technological innovation that engineers help to make possible. This activity is geared towards fifth grade and older students and computer capabilities are required. Some portions of the activity may be appropriate with younger students.

Creative Personality Styles or Types by Adobe Create
Rating
0.0 stars

Click "Take the test" in the bottom left corner to get started.

A short and quirky personality style test created by Adobe to showcase varieties of creativity.

The quiz will outline your creative strengths, untapped potential and your ideal way of contributing. For example "The Artist" has the strength of being able to bring ideas and concepts to life; but untapped is fearlessness in expression and this person make a good producer.

Types are the artist, thinker, adventurer, maker, producer, dreamer, innovator, and visionary. Each type includes a goofy animated character that represents the type, there is a description of each type, and who they work best with.

This would be a great addition to a learner profile, or to explore when examining creativity. We can all be creative - just in different ways. This is a great way to illustrate that and spark some rich discussion in your classroom!

Project: The students were given the task to write a narrative story. Grade 3/4’s theme was adventure and the grade 5/6’s theme was mystery. We had covered the two writing traits - Ideas and Organization and therefore that was our focus for this writing task. Students took their stories through the writing process and included a hand drawn cover page for their published story. Hollywood then called and was looking to turn their stories into a big screen production. We kicked this excitement off with a PowerPoint presentation sharing the details of their assignment. Students used the iMovie app to create movie trailers
promoting their stories. We hosted a red carpet event – Kenaston Golden Globes where we viewed all of the movie trailers and a variety of awards were handed out. The day was full of excitement with everyone dressed up in their formal wear. Popcorn and drinks were served during the movie premier. Everyone was pleased to receive a Golden Globe Award.

ELA 1-8: Collaborative School Newspaper
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

In the past, Eatonia Colony School published a school newspaper monthly. It was decided that while focusing on creativity and collaboration, we would bring the paper to life again! This project was a collaborative school effort. Every student in grades 1-8 participated and had a job to do. We brainstormed ideas together and put our two oldest girls in charge of being the editors. We set deadlines and every grade/student was in charge of designing their own pages.
We have included pictures of our process as well as the cover, table of contents and pictures from our finished product! We have also included a lesson plan and our assessment rubrics.

ELA 3: Creating Fractured Fairytales
Unrestricted Use

0.0 stars

First, we studied fairytales and fractured fairytales. We learned about the elements of each story and compared them. During the learning process students were practicing a variety of reading comprehension strategies: predicting, inferring, compare and contrast, main idea, theme etc. After learning about all the elements of fractured fairytales my students took their shot at writing them. They were split into partners based on the fairytale that they wanted to fracture. Then they had to work through the five stages of the writing process. First, the partners had to plan their fractured fairytale. They were given the choice of what kind of graphic organizer to use to begin their planning and brainstorming. They had to plan their plot, setting, problem and solution. Then the students worked through the rough draft, editing and revising stages of the writing process. Throughout those phases they were completing self-assessment checklists to keep on track with their work. Lastly, they wrote a good copy of their fractured fairytale and illustrated it. This also included a cover page and a back page. The back page included a teaser to hook the reader.

ELa 4-8: Expert Writing Presentations

I have been doing expert writing with the older students for a few years now as an independent English Language Arts project while I am working with the younger students. However, I have been disappointed with the variety and creativity in presentations. I give them a list of possible formats and they choose the topic they are interested in researching and how they want to present what they have learned. Only 1 or 2 have been brave enough to deviate from the traditional written report, or poster. My plan was to do a variety of creativity projects from the Destination Imagination series to foster creativity and get them in the right frame of mind before doing their projects. I insisted that they had to choose a format other than a written report, or poster.
