An Active Learning Innovation Break
Here's a creative thinking,
brain energizer for your students. Try this easy, change-of-pace
opportunity to engage your students in a hands-on creative-thinking and
problem-solving learning experience.
The
Setup
Divide your class into small work groups of 4 to 5 students in each group.
Supply each group with 20 to 25 large paper clips. The exact number is not
critical.
The
Challenge
Challenge each group to design and create as many paper clip inventions as
they can in 3 minutes.
The
Process
At the end of the three-minute build period, each group should pick their
top three inventions. A small-group spokesperson from each group then
explains their invention to the entire class.
After each group has presented their top-three inventions, the class votes
on which of the all the inventions is the most clever or creative.
Evaluation
The exercise finishes with appropriate instructor's and students' comments
on the creative process. This activity ends on a positive note when the
instructor invites the class to give themselves a nice round of applause.
