Thinking Outside the Box…
We are all ORIGINAL
thinkers, but we must discover our original
thoughts.
Three Steps to Increase
Our Originality:
1. Present an uncommon stimulus situation
2. Evoke different responses to same the situation
3. Evoke uncommon responses as textual responses
Word Associationscan create originality
• School:
– Teachers
– Class
– Homework
– Stress
• Weekend:
– Relax
– Friends
– Fun
– Sleep
According to Maltzman,
“Originality can be increased through
instructions or practice to
produce uncommon responses.”
Our Lesson in Originality:
1. Warm up the creative brain
2. View pictures which evoke a creative response
3. Seek and express an original thought

The Task at Hand• Look at the Picture• Write down the first idea that pops
into your head• Now CREATIVELY expand the thought• Write a poem or a few sentences
capturing the essence of the picture with your own originality
• Be prepared to share
ONE more picture warm up before you
creative geniuses start…
My Example
A restless spirit, desperately seeking a purpose
Lost, full of sadness waiting to see the light
Afraid, and alone;Yet a glimmering hint of hope shines
withinRevealing a sense of peace.
Your turn to be ORIGINAL
