{"product_id":"creative-challenges","title":"Creative Challenges","description":"\u003cp\u003eEdward de Bono has long been recognised as a ‘guru’ in the area of lateral thinking. It is his contention that the mental activity of ‘creative thinking’ is not just the product of a high level of intelligence. Indeed, as thinking can be seen as a skill, the end result can be affected considerably by the amount of practice that the ‘thinker’ has been exposed to before undertaking the given task. The activities in \u003cem\u003eCreative Challenges\u003c\/em\u003e have been designed to stretch your students’ understanding and thinking skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis activity book follows the basic principles of de Bono in concentrating on eight processes or skills which foster an increased ability to think creatively and divergently. These include: Cognitive abilities – Fluency, Flexibility, Originality and Elaboration; and Affective abilities – Curiosity – Complexity, Risk Taking and lmagination. The final section is extremely useful in that it provides Task Starters to assist teachers in designing their own activities for classroom use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca class=\"btn btn-info\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/7786\/8817\/files\/creative-challenges-sample.pdf?v=1781100898\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView Sample \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ready-Ed Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53559181607185,"sku":"REAU8063","price":28.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/7786\/8817\/files\/REAU8063.jpg?v=1778759131","url":"https:\/\/www.teachersuperstore.com.au\/products\/creative-challenges","provider":"Teacher Superstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
