Why did I prepare a video lesson about creativity? Here is the reason. Writing is a creative process. Unfortunately, many schools do not teach students how to think creatively. That is one reason why students have a hard time to write well.
This video lesson is from TED.com. It’s a great website with interesting ideas. I think this video is useful for two reasons. First, it will help students improve their listening and sentence writing skills (if you download and use the writing worksheet). Second, the content is useful. I hope it makes my students think about their own lives.
