Creative Thinking

Fourth graders dove into the world of divergent thinking today! After learning about four components of divergent thinking (Fluency, Flexibility, Originality, and Elaboration) - a.k.a. creative thinking, they had the challenge of turning some random lines into a "creative" product. Students then evaluated the images for three of the criteria and nominated some to be recognized for the components. Students were pretty thrilled to be recognized for their flexible thinking, original ideas, and elaboration! It was great to hear these high level conversations!
