New Directions in Creativity: Mark A

New Directions in Creativity is a series of five volumes of creativity training activities for students in grades K-8 based on Guilford’s Structure of the Intellect Model using such time-honored techniques as brainstorming and forced relationships to help students break away from conventional thinking and venture into the realm of original thought. Each volume contains a discussion of program philosophy, objectives and suggestions for presenting each of the 24 activities,  follow-up ideas, and 48 reproducible student activity pages.

Mark A provides activities for students in grades K-1.  Activities ask children to create pictures out of letters, tell a story given pictures in cartoon cells, think of a story for a new children's television show, create rhymes, come up with ideas for using old items, and more.
