Reflection 1: Creating, Imagining and Innovating

This lesson was our second lesson in WISE and we focused on one of the habit's of mind which was Creating, Imagining and innovating. We were then given a paperclip and asked to create something different out of it, I of which came up with a walking stick and as it was quite small i thought about how it could be used for a mouse. We then looked at a sideshow of all different items which included balloons, wood, springs and umbrellas. For homework we were asked to think about three of those items and think about five different ways they could be used if you created them and used them in everyday life.
