exciting to students. Definitely, the act of renaming the cell parts give the student a sense of
control and thought process. In this Creativity Test, a student is being evaluated in critical
thinking and mental agility.
I would also evaluate responses on the basis of knowing the spelling of the Cell part and its
function. By understanding the basic functions of each cell, a student is able to form an idea of
how it acts, rather than what it is. The second part of the test aims to test students knowledge
and process of recollection. I think its very important that the photographs represent the function
of the cell part, as well as its aesthetic. I always found it very helpful to use visual aids in
studying, which is why I included them in the test.
10 points: Explain how this assignment taps creativity using the traditional definition (novel +
appropriate)
Novel and Appropriate
This Creativity Test was meant to incite many facets of creativity in a students mind. Mainly,
the idea of contributing to the Department names of an Underwater Mall may lead to
brainstorming, because such mall doesnt exist yet. There are no real limits or rules to follow in
the naming of Departments, which allows for creative freedom. Although the cell structure has
been explained using various analogies, this creativity test lessens the formality of Biology. It
allows students to be less intimidated by jargon by coming up with their own, creative names.
Appropriateness may hold more weight when it comes to teaching young students. If a subject is
not relevant to an aspect of their lives, they may likely abandon it. More over, if a student feels
lack of control or understanding of a subject, the better way to teach them would be to hand back
that control, and let them have fun with it.
Engaging Makes a Difference
I think engaging with topics greatly improves the chance for students to learn and understand
them. According to an article titled, How to transform schools to foster creativity, by R. Keith
Sawyer, when the arts are integrated with instruction in another content area, such as math or
science, that other knowledge is learned more effectively (Sawyer). And the reason being,
creativity promotes more creativity. If by learning about a Sea Mall and its functions and
Departments can open up a channel of creativity, other channels will also open. Additionally,
when a subject is relevant to an aspect of daily life, it if going to be more easily understood than
if there were no connection.
10 points: Do you think engaging with the subject matter creatively makes a difference in
learning? Do a search I suggest using the psychology and/or education databases to find
articles that support & refute your view.
Post to your website
10 points: Have at least 2 friends or family members do your assignment and put comments on
your page about the results.

Points WILL be deducted for lack of clarity or rambling responses. The TA and I must easily be
able to see how the assignment taps creativity and be able to follow the instructions ourselves if
needed.
