NARRATION

Instructions:

3. Write your Narration.

My persuasive argument thesis is: Creativity is learned in school not killed.

1. What do people already know about my topic?

Everyone will be devided in 2 teams. The one team believes that creativity is learned in school. The other team believes that creativity is killed in school. I think latter might be the majority. Actually, the course they take seems lack of creativity. Quite few people believe that creativity is learned in school, who think course in Korea ask students a question, and give them a time to think. But I'm sure that a few people could answer what is the creativity. 

2. What research has already been done about my topic?

http://www.learningfirst.org/paradox-creativity-education- Explain the diffculty of school to cultivate students' creativity. Give an way to cultivate those in barren island for creativity
http://www.education.com/reference/article/creativity-education/?page=2-Explain the relationship between education and creativity. Claim that creativity is related to teacher's attitude.

3. What are the implications of my argument (What if I'm right? What if I'm right and people ignore me?)

Students and teachers attitude will be change. For students, guidebook for growing their creativity in school. For teachers, they will change themselves as out-of -box and accepting-mistakes teachers with my essay. If those two groups ignore my essay, students will not have a chance to grow creativity which needs for entering university and their whole life. Also, teachers wouldn't be able to teach their students to be creative.

My Narration

 Creativity is a familiar concept but easily mistaken concept for everyone. Creativity is the process of thinking unique and brilliant which can create value, and must include relevence and novelty. This is what everyone knows. But did you guys know that creativity must be related to problem solving? It might be confused to understand the exact concept with an sentence. Thus I'd like to cite a paragraph from the article written by Stefan Mumaw, the author of Creative boot camp to make sure you define creativity exactly.

Creativity cannot be present without a problem to solve. When an artist paints a beautiful painting, they are being artistic. When they paint a beautiful painting while solving even the smallest of problems (perhaps the desire for photorealism, or the restriction of only using palette knives, or limiting the number of paints used), they are being artistic and creative. It is the problem that defines creativity, not the art.        

 Before considering whether the creativity is learned in school or not, we should confirm that creativity can be learned. It's absurd to say that creativity cannot be learned. As I mentioned above, creativity is the process of solving problem and must include relevent and novelty. Then the question 'the creativity is innate or learned' is meant 'Can you learn to solve problems with relevance and novelty?' Of course we can learn to slove problem with relevance and novelty by practice, solving problems with creative solution for many times.

If you are presented problems consistently and you choose to solve those problems with relevance and novelty, you can improve creatively.(Stefan Mumaw)

It's clear that we're facing problems everyday, thus we already have an environment for developing creativity. Thus what we need is attitude for greeting problems and choosing creative way for solution.
  There's one more thing we need to grow creativity. That is bulding base of knowledges.(Tina Seelig) Thus I think school where students persue learning, in other words bulding knowledges is the best place for cultivating creativity. But people have been believed that school is the place where the creativity is slaughted. Now, it's time to throw away that misconception and light the school as a place of growing creativity and know how we can achieve so.
