One of the courses I always struggle with was anatomy.

The assignment I
created is both use of creativity and knowledge on the subject. Students
will be divided into group each group would be assign a body organ each
group is responsible to create the body organ as realistic as possible while
studying all about the specific organ. Separate from the creation of the
body organ and presented in class a creative story should be told in
rewards to the organ examples: body organ heart; now students will need
to write a story as if they themselves are the organ what they go through
every day what happens when they are taken care of all written in a
creative way more as you are the organ make it as unique as you want.
How would you evaluate responses?
Each student will be evaluated in the realism of the organ created and the
knowledge on the organ. Questions like why does this organ look like this?
What are the functions of the organ? Can us humans live without this
organ?
Explain how this assignment taps creativity using the traditional definition
(novel + appropriate)
This assignment taps into the novelty of each student when writing the
creative story on the organ students have to be unique and original. While
the creation of the organ and realistic is appropriate is useful to be aware of
how the specific organs actually look like and it definitely a realistic version
of an organs meets the task.
Do you think engaging with the subject matter creatively makes a
difference in learning?
Engaging of students with creative ways of learning does tap into the
students motivation. Students being offered optional assignments as is
reasonable will lead the students to have a sense of ownership and will be
more engage in their work. Finding creative ways for students to interact
with other students around the globe using technology, media and solving
authentic problems will tap into their critical thinking as we referred in this
course as divergent thinking which is a result of using creativity. Appealing
to the students playful side when making assignments more fun and
activating their motivation for learning.
