What is it to be CREATIVE?

It's sad to say that this semester is coming to a close. I have learned so much, met some amazing people and strengthened bonds between others. The last day of lab was mysterious and fun. All we were told was to bring a unit plan that we had written and to come prepared to be creative. I was a little nervous since I know I'm not an overly creative person.

Once we were in lab, our instructor said we were taking a field trip. A field trip in college!? We went to the dollar tree to pick out 5 things that would make the unit plan we had in our hand more creative. I chose my FFA unit plan and had no clue how the dollar tree could help me make it more creative. I eventually settled on these items:

Party hats, white out, 2 different colored streamers and a feather duster. Might as well add a partridge in a pear tree! I chose the streams for my students to make the FFA official dress on a group member. My idea was to have it be a timed even where two teams had to dress up one person in official dress. Whichever team had the best dressed person won!

The party hat, white out and feather duster are to practice running a meeting. The party hats would have the different officer positions written on them with he white out. The students would take turns being each officers and therefore wearing each different hat. The feather duster would act as the gavel. I really liked how this lab brought out our creativity. They just let us go in a store with the one mission to make our unit more creative. I really hope they continue to do this lab!! Thanks for reading!
