Creative Problem Solving

Now that you are almost at the end of the Creative Problem Solving Process, it is time to reflect. Consider the steps of the process and how they have helped you to come to a conclusion for the problem you identified. What skills were involved in the process? Which skills were most difficult? Which skills came easily for you? What did you learn, not just about the Titanic, but about thinking and evaluation, in general? How can this kind of thinking help you in other parts of your life?

Titanic

As we have learned, it was 100 years ago when the heralded Titanic went down on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic. We have also learned that there are two sides to the  Titanic story. The most popular Titanic story is one that we know and romanticize. However, there is also a side to the story that involves mystery, undiscovered secrets, tragedy, and  conspiracy. In this blog post, share a few ideas about what you have learned from your informational reading and research about the Titanic. Consider your discovery moments and questions you now have about the Titanic.  

GA Peach Author Tour

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting the GA Peach Author Tour. Authors S.R. Johannes, Jennifer Jabaley, and Vicky Alvear Schecter joined us to share ideas about writing and their experiences as professional authors of tween and young adult fiction and non-fiction literature. We learned so much. In this blog post, comment on either your favorite aspect of the tour or a technique that you learned and can add to your writer’s toolbox.
