Divergent Thinking
• Students will think creatively to generate innovative ideas, products, or solutions to problems.
• Cognitive Components of Creativity: Fluency, Flexibility, Originality, and Elaboration
• Affective Components of Creativity: Risk-taking, Complexity, Curiosity, and Imagination
• Examples: brainstorming, transformations, creative problem solving

Evaluative Thinking
• Students will evaluate and solve a variety of authentic problems.
Examples: 1. Ranking and evaluating the quality of
ideas for problem solving (evaluative thinking process)
2. Using and creating rubrics to assess work
