Summary

What is creativity?

My understanding has changed because I've learned that creativity is everywhere. In symbols,

boxes, drawings, etc.

My understanding has changed a little bit but mostly has stayed the same as what i said it was

at first.Creativity is to be open minded.

I think it does change, and for the good at that. We get to let our minds be free and fly

anywhere in my mind my heart desires.

Yes, for sure. I loved expanding my thought in new creative ways. I liked to push my mind no

matter the challenge. In the symbol activity I learned a new ways to symbolize myself using a

theater. I also, loved the not a box activity , because I love to play new and creative roles. I

also, enjoyed the thinking hats project . I learned new creative ways to look at things in life.

Yes because of all our activities that made you think.

Creativity is thinking outside of the box and making meaning in something like the not a box

Activity. I also think creativity is believing that something doesn't just mean one thing and

believe more than you thought before.

Creativity is how you express yourself. I think I can open up a little bit more and try new things

after our activities. I am able to look at things with a new perspective.

Creativity is aspect that everyone is born with some of, but it has to be nurtured and

developed. It involves originality- coming up with new ideas, fluency- coming up with many

ideas, elaboration- adding on to existing ideas, and flexibility- changing the path of your idea if

needed. To develope creativity, you have to nurture your imagination and practice coming up

with ideas.

Creativity is using your imagination to come up with new ideas. I think my understanding of

creativity has improved with class activities because I had the chance to extend my

imagination/creativity and had fun with it.

Intersting ideas

No because it hasn't given me any more creativity because they were all just think of

something instead of something specific or new.

Creativity is anything you can make and/or imagine.

Yes. It has strenghten my ability to look at things in a different perspective.

Yes. I said yes because I can probably take a little piece of something and make something

based off my mind.

Making your imagination into something

Creativity is unique, diversity and originality all in one word. It's everywhere and everything. No

matter who you are, whether you're an athlete, a musician, a jock, a geek, or whoever, YOU

ARE CRATIVE. #beunique #beoriginal #becreative.

Yes it has advanced to a new way of thinking about what creative is in a different activity that

was creative.

The ability to think outside the box.

Creativity is something that no one else will think of, it is your trademark. It is what makes you,

you. I think my creative thinking skills have benefited from the activitys so far because of how

the activitys really make you think outside the box.

Its still the same.!"#$

Creativity is using your mind and imagination to create something new that can represent

something about you.

Creativity is somthing we use to express ourselves and to show our ideas.

Creativity is the thoughts we have that create ourselves in different ways. IDK

No I think I'm the same as I was

Creativity can be done in anyway you want

Creativity is like how different and unique you can be in a situation. Like if you were given a

sheet with lots of parallel lines and you were told to create as many things as possible you

would use your creativity to make things with it.

Is the understanding and imagination of young children, and or adults.

Creativity is when ,you make something your own

I think it has because now I understand the meaning of creativity. I can look deeper into the

meaning of things and watch the era of creativity evolve within myself.

Creativity is doing something to express yourself. For example in the symbolism project we got

to customize symbols and represent ourselves. Another example is the not a box activity. This

helped our minds use creativity to create a story with just a box.

I think creativity is expressing your thoughts or felling some through drawings, or pictures. My

understanding of creativity has changed, but only slightly. However, after our activities, the term

" creativity " has become more clear to me.

Creativity is a way of an original thinking, so when you are creative you do NOT copy others

ideas because you will be creative and that means to make up something original and fun and

Laura Gary

interesting. Something creative is something you created with your own taste or sizzle. Being

creative means to rejoice your thoughts in a way that has never been created before.

Your idea of something

The way someone, or something, thinks.

Everyone has creativity and you need to build on what you already have and nurture it. Also,

chef ore, I thought that you either have it or you don't, I now know that you already have it.

Some people may start out with more creativity, but if you work hard, you can continue to

obtain more.

Creativity is your imagination coming up with ideas, notions, and elaborations. Creativity is a

way to make new things. Yes my idea of creativity has changed its not just coming up with new

ideas it's the making or elaborating of your mind and imagination.

No, because before, I thought that creativity was a way to express yourself in any way you

want, and all of these activities have just strengthened that theory.

Creativity is what people use to express meanings, feelings, ideas, etc. It can also be a special

way of saying something.

No because I have done creativity activities before

Creativity is the mind having fun and imaginating something wonderful.

Tibia an idea that you come up with by your self.

Creativity is an idea or concept that is unique and original. My view changed a little bit. It

changed a little because I learned how to look at a situation through different perspectives

using the 6 thinking hats.

Yes,because the creative activities make you think and it kind of wakes up your brain and gets

thinking.

I personally don't think my definition of creativity changed because I said befor that it uses

color and it uses different or unique ideas to express what you feel and that exactly what we

did.

Creativity is coming up with something unique, no matter what it is.

Creativity is using your imagination to make something or solving problems. It is thinking about

things in different ways or in a different perspective. My understanding has not changed about

creativity after the creativity thinking activities because I had already understand what creativity

is.

Creativity is coming up with original ideas and elaborating on other ideas as well. It is problem

solving and expressing your thoughts in any way that you choose. Creativity can be expressed

in writing, art, music, even math. My understanding of creativity hasn't really changed after our

creative thinking activities, but they have enforced the fact that elaboration is a big part of

creativity, not just originality (most great ideas have come from elaboration, for example,

Thomas Edison didn't invent the lightbulb, he just elaborated on and improved past ideas with

Laura Gary

Laura Gary



his creativity).

Something that is not already made by some one else. Your own creative imagination.

Yes, because I was able to make something out of something which means I had like a number

5 and I made it to a whole body with eyes and everything.

Creativity is really anything. It's coming up with new ideas, but also being able to elaborate on

the ones that are already there. My definition for creativity has changed a lot after this lesson.

Creativity is a way to express something.

Creativity is looking at things in new and interesting ways, or from a new angle. It is thinking

outside the box, and expressing your thoughts and views in the craziest, weirdest ways. (By

the way, weird and crazy are awesome in this case) It is also making up games and ideas that

no one has ever heard of before.

My perspective hasn't really change much. It has always been thinking outside the box and

coming up with ur own ideas.

I think I had a pretty clear understanding of creativity and I still have that same understanding

It has changed because I got to understand more on how to use my creativity and I can relate

and have fun.

Having your own ideas

I still believe that creativity is Coming up with something out of nothing, and just coming up with

something to do or say or draw or think or write or create ect. I think that the activities we did

made me think about the different forms of creativity

Creativity is when someone can express their fellings through art music or any thing else.

Anything

Creativity is a little hard to explain, but I will try. I think that creativity is something that you use

to help you through life in certain ways. My understanding of creativity has expanded from the

things that we have been doing in class. It has really helped because they have used creativity

to help me under stand.

I think that creativity is a way to express how you think and feel. Plus I think that you can show

who you are that way.

Expressing yourself

9+10=21

The unique way of people who think differently

It has changed because not everything is the way it looks because if you look deep into it you

could see the meaning of it. Not only that ,but you can see the point of view.

Not really

Creativity is your personality or way ordering things. It's where you use your personality to

make something that you create.

It's made me more open about it. Because when we did the six thinking hats we got to talk

about are oppions and each other's.

Creativity is coming up with new ideas and expressing them in different ways, it is thinking

over, under, on one side or the other, but outside none the less, of the box.

My creativity has changed. I can think more deeply of what I can make different objects into. I

have more ideas of what I can use to represent my creativity and the project. I learned different

activities I can use. I can also use those activities, but make them different. I can use others

ideas and turn them into my ideas.

Being yourself and thinking in unique/different perspective

What is creativity? How we express the different ways to imagine and create ideas with a

limitless range of possibilities. I think that these activities have not changed how I understand

creativity, but have widened my understanding.

I think it has some because now I have a better understanding of what creativity is due to the

projects in class.

It is something that comes from your imaginations. No.

It has helped me think outside the box with my Ideas

It has broadened a little bit

Creativity is using YOUR understanding of things to make something unique and personal. My

idea of creativity has changed slightly meaning I have the same idea of creativity just in more

detail.

I do not think that my understanding changed a lot. I still think that creativity it the root of

everything that has been created. But it may have improved a little, now I know how to use it to

my advantage better.

I don't think that my idea of creativity has changed very much

No it has not. These activities are simply a waste of time. Our thinking of creativity has not

changed what so ever. All of these symbols and squiggles and nota boxes are just stupid. We

are children. Creativity is what we do, what we are made of. It's creativity that helps us grow.

What makes us children. What makes us smarter than adults. Creativity is not something you

can teach and grow. It is us. And forcing it to change is, as I said, a waste of time.

I think Creativity is how people see the world in an interesting way.

Creativity is where you can turn anything into a greater idea. A box can turn into a horse and

your winning the Kentucky Derby, PlayDough can turn into a plate of cookies or even a

butterfly that your riding.

Yes, because I am thinking outside the box and not just jotting down the first thing that comes

to mind.

Yes Creativity means to think in new ways

Laura Gary

Somthing non original. Like if a zig zag line can look like something else

Creativity is how you look at things.

It didn't really change, but it did help me understand my knowledge Ali,t bit more.

No because I still think the same about creativity. I think creativity is making or doing something

out of the ordinary.

Yes, it's inspired me to think outside the box and have more ideas.

Yes because my idea of creativity was original ideas but it's not.

Create

No. Because I was already very creative

I think that it Has not changed allot because I'm already very creative so. It can be hard to

make me

Yes, because now when i'm thinking of new creatuve ways to go in my writing, I can express

them in different ways using new creatuve ideas/waysof thinking.

No

Yes, my understanding of creativity as changed. Now I think it is thinking outside the box and

having a broadly imaginative mind and understanding a deeper perspective of a shape, a

sgwiggle, ect.

Yes, I learned that you can be creative with everything and that everyone has different creative

rivers.

Creativity is thinking outside of the box and making something plain and old bueatiful.

Creativity is doing something abnormally and still being able to do it and making it artfully

pretty. I think that creativity has changed for me this year and I get a bigger understanding of it

in this classroom.

Creativity is looking at something and saying: "Hey, that really looks like something else."

Yes cause I thought creativity was just your imagination which it is in a way but now thanks to

this class I have a better understanding of it.

In my opinion, creativity means thinking more out of the box and considering objects/ideas for

more than they are usually looked at as. For example, to some people, apples may just mean

apples, the red fruit. But to others it could also symbolize education, health, wisdom, and more.

To conclude, creativity means to think outside of the box and think like an open minded person.

Creativity is doing your own thing. Basically everything you do is based on creativity. Like when

you think you must be thinking the same thing but. Not the same way. Like in math if someone

raises their hand and Mr.Story says don't ever say, "I was going to say the same thing because

you think differently."

I think creativity is creating something or adding to a drawing or something else.

Creativity is the ability to come up with completely original and fun ideas and use them in new

ways. It is the ability to make multiple ideas out of one thing, like with a cardboard box.

I think creativity is some of the things in your head you can think up.

The ability to express yourself in original ways

Not really but it has improved a little

Creativity is when you think about original ides that can be illaberated into greater more out of

the box ideas while still maintaining a balance between imagination and reality.

I already had a big understanding, but I would say that the activities we did gave me more to

thing adout, and to think about what creativity is and I do think the activities have helped me.

Creativity is a time when you get to express your feelings

Making or doing something that is original

No, not specifically. I can't say that I'm learning about creativity in my Ella class.

I think creativity helped me understand life and what's around me in different ways. I think if

someone is creative then they can achieve many things.

The activities we do in ELA are interesting to me.

I have some choice about what I learn in ELA.

What other types of creative activities would you like to do that would enhanceour learning in ELA?

I wish we could do some more creative writing than we have been.

Something with art or drawing

There is a word that is not spelled correctly and you have to correct it and make what it is after

spelling it right.

Giving students stacks of paper and letting them create what they want.

I think that an idea we could have for creativity would be if we created our own business.

I think we could do a time where we creat our own story using our creativity and make it our

own. It can be fiction or non fiction but because you create it to be your own it might need to be

non fiction. I would love to write a story that we get to make using our creativity.

More ideas that stimulate our creativity

get in groups and make something about grammer

I think that instead of letting people sit there and act like are doing what they are suppose to do

they are playing games then you should make ELA games and make them play those and

make them reflect them into the board and watch them play.

I think you could give us a simple word, then we would have to come up with the most creative

synonym for the given word.

Free writing is fun, in my opinion.

Symbols in mythology and in other unique cultures

I would love to have a fiction writing session where we spill out ideas for fiction stories.

Have us make wordls

I'm not sure at the moment

creating s presentation with a topic that you came up with and the teacher said you could do it.

I want to do more creative activities like picture dictionaries

"I don't know." )3@@9

I would like it if we got at least five minutes to either be silent and organize your mind, or read.

Making a poster or making something about what we are learning.

I would like to do more squiggle activities and days when class is totally self guided, when we

get to make things. Also, I like to do hands on projects.

?

Making a monster

I think that we should something like not a box,with something that is not a box.

I don't know.

I would like to do this again but instead, be able to erase some of the squiggle.

Like drawing creative things.

If we wrote, or studied a play (for different ways to express ourselves) and preformed it for

another class.

I don't really have any ideas.

Build a story as a team: One person starts the story, then another person adds on, and

another. It ends after everyone has gone at least once and it is the complete end of the story. I

would LOVE to play the swiggle game again :D

I don't know

I would like for there to be an activity where you have students make up a character and a

personality for that character. The second part would be where you make a community and

friends for that character. The third is where you make a world and names for all the

characters, places, and things. (Including the world) Then have the students write a short story

about their characters, or draw a comic.

Research of your choice, art project....

Draw a self portrait of your self and then put things in your life from it. (Not a symbol a self

portrait.)

One thing that I would like to do is kind-of what we did today (Tuesday), you gave us squiggles

and we had to create something from that squiggle. Which was very fun and I felt like it

stimulated my creative thinking.

I don't know

I Don't Know

I would like to have competitions with our creativity, because it is really nice to be challenged

and compete with other people.

I think it would be fun to have a free write day.

I don't know. Maybe a free - anything?

Maybe if we all made up a game (active) and tried it? That would be cool!

I think it is fun doing mrs Gary's creative activity

Thfbfhkjhdrgtdyhtmcghgchgviughgchtcggchg

Drawing representing who you are.

I would like to me to do more acting and speaking in creative ways.

I am not sure if a specific activity but maybe a day where we switch personalities, or actions or

ways of thinking with someone else, or a character to see how we can view how other people

think and make actions.

Work together more on creativity (something I did early on was we would draw a creative

picture to represent us and then we would try to figure out who it was). I would really love if you

would use creative activities to stimulate more activities.

i don't know.

Fashion designing!!!!! I like the scribble thing, maybe we can do that again. Creating your own

superhero would be awesome.

Something involving art

- 4 corners ( each corner has a different creative idea ,) I have to elaborate on the idea more

though - Go outside and do a dance creative idea. ( Each person has to make there own

creative dance move! I HAVE MORE IDEAS BUT I DIDIN' T HAVE ENOUGH TIME.

Making an epic novel involving fantasy, magic, Knights, and wizards

i don't know

I don't know.

I have to write I don't know because I feel that I would go into great detail and overthink

everything. %

we could write a story but not a nonfiction story but a fiction story and the goal is to be as crazy

(creative) as you can make the story

I think that we should do more activities. But please, please, Ms.Gary. STOP TRYING. No

more creativity activities

I don't know. : l

Ideas for a book as class

idk

Idk

I would like to doodle so that you could just draw your ideas. Also we could do blind drawing

portraits. Which is when you draw a portrait of someone on your head.

IDK

Make your own 10 paged book.

More drawing like creating the symbol we made.

Something like writing and illustrating a short story would be cool...

I logins we should do more creative activities like the squiggle activity.

I DONT KNOW

A suggestion would be making a basic alphabet for a made up language.

Cvagab

Drawing your feelings, Imagination Wensday, Reading Tuesday

A brain teaser that would force us to think in different ways.

The one that we did today was a warm up and we had to make a random line change into

somthing diffrent and I made a fishing pole out of a line that looked like a five and I would be

happy if we did somthing like that again.

I do not know

Taking a box and filling it up with things that discribe me. This is very similar to some of the

activities we have already done in class.

Idk

Non fiction story or another symbols activity

No suggestion

I would like to do or create a play

i think that if we designed something, like a house or anything, that would be really enjoyable

Laura Gary

Laura Gary

Laura Gary



for me. I really like the "Creative Days" or whatever they're called.

i think that we should do more outside of the box thinking like what can you do with this and

now can you change it to make it more creative like in writing.
