HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL!
There will be no class on Tuesday, Dec. 8. I will be at a LEAP meeting off
campus all day.
We finished our life size wild things and rough drafts. Next week we will
write our final copies and continue our illustrations of Whangdoodleland.
We will begin learning about a creative technique called SCAMPER- (substitue,
combine, adjust, Modify(magnify and minify), Put to other uses, Eliminate and
Reverse or Rearrange.)SCAMPER games assist students in maintaining and
improving their imaginative ability by providing an opportunity to learn and
practice idea-getting techniques and ways to solve a variety of problems.
Creative imagination is the ability to form unique and original mental images
and one way to do this through SCAMPERING activities.
Rearranging and manipulating information that is drawn from our memory.
Existing knowledge and experience provides the material to be manipulated in
the quest for new and original images. Fun!
