Reflection
I found this assignment a great process to go through to engage with the material. I think it would be a great exercise for my students to deeply think about the material. I found myself forced to deeply think about the material to create an effective song. Trying to find good variations to the lyrics in the original song had me scouring the target content for suitable material to transfer to the song.
In the past I have often made comments about other people being creative persons – not realizing that I was implying that they were born with it or naturally possessed those abilities. Something very helpful I learned from the reading is that creativity can be learned and developed – via rich experiences that broaden personal connections and provide more “knobs” that students will be able to use in future creative endeavors.
