I am creative

How to Achieve this in the Classroom

Apply the skills you have mastered in one subject into a different subject. For example, use your persuasive writing skills from your English lessons in a history of geography lesson. Or present your French work using skills you have mastered in art?

When given a creative challenge such as writing a story, think hard about something that might be different to others' ideas. For example, writing from a different perspective or time period. Do not always go for your first idea!
