Arts – 4th Grade Students individually articulate different ways to
interpret the same musical passage. Students then compare the various
interpretations and determine which one is most effective, taking into
account age-appropriate considerations such as the style and genre of
the music.
World Languages – 4th Grade With the job title omitted, students read
various job/career advertisements and then match the appropriate job
title to the ad. Students are divided into groups. Each group is asked
to investigate 3-5 different career/job sites and identify the jobs and
careers that are in high demand in a particular city, region, or
country. Students present their findings to the class.
English – 12th Grade In small groups, students create a plan
for involving students in making technology decisions in the
school. The process may include gathering student input from
surveys, establishing a student advisory committee, using
students to help provide tech support or other services to
the school, evaluating cost/value ratios, and fundraising
proposals to support their recommended strategies. These
plans should be used in a presentation to the principal or
the school board.

Communication
TheImportanceCommunication
Nowadays there is an overwhelming of communication and
students should be prepared to analyze, face and process it.
The power of modern media and the ubiquity of communication
technologies in all aspects of life make teaching strong
communication skills even more important.

economy because of the relation that have to be with the
customer and for that every students need to have the
communicative skills necessary to the well communication
between them.

Use communication for a range of purposes (e.g. to inform, instruct,
motivate, and persuade)
Relationwithotherskills
Communication is very important and emphasize on it also, but
is almost impossible to separate it from the other Cs,
especially collaboration.
When we clearly articulate our ideas, through, speaking and
writing, we are related to collaboration skills.

Science – 8th Grade Students interview local scientists (e.g.,
university researcher, local television meteorologist, medical
technician) about the ways in which computer models inform their work.
Students create a digital gallery of images from the different models
accompanied by audio files of the interviews. Students are familiar with
the use of computational models as tools to describe and predict real-
world phenomena.
Social Studies – 4th Grade Working in small groups, students choose an
area from their state’s history, organize a storyboard on the
person/place/event, and use digital tools to create a presentation that
teaches their topic to the remainder of the class. Students research,
organize, and present historical information in clear, complete, and
effective formats.
English – 4th Grade Students pose a question about a local
issue on a secure, collaborative space such as
ed.voicethread.com or galleryofwriting. org. Each student
gives a short written or recorded response to the issue and
then invites community leaders to add their responses. These
students can articulate thoughts clearly and effectively
through writing and speaking.

Arts – 4th Grade While rehearsing a piece in music class,
students discuss as a group how each individual part (melody,
descant, harmonic or rhythmic accompaniment) contributes to
the musical effectiveness of the overall performance, and how
all musicians must work together to create a satisfying
whole. Students also experiment with and discuss how the
director (whether student or teacher) communicates with the
ensemble (gestures, head movements, facial expressions) to
help shape performance.
Geography – 8th Grade After studying an environmental
community issue (landfills, water quality, maintaining open
space, recycling), students compose email messages
appropriate to various local, state, and national officials,
stating their opinion and offering alternatives to current
methods of dealing with the issue. Encourage students to
consider their audience and develop effective ways to create
a coordinated and articulate email campaign that will have an
impact. Students demonstrate the ability to work effectively

If students leave school without knowing how to continuously create and
innovate, they will be underprepared for the challenges of society and
the workforce.
According to Robert Sternberg of Tufts University, “Successful
individuals are those who have creative skills, to produce a vision for
how they intend to make the world a better place for everyone”
definition
Use a wide range of idea creation techniques
Create new thing and ideas
Innovative things
Be open and responsive to new and diverse perspectives
Relationwithotherskills
Creativity have a close relationship with other skills that
we have already explained.
Those skills are communication and collaboration, because
when you are innovative you have the facility to communicate
with others and collaborate.
WaystoIntegrateCreativity
Social Studies – 4th Grade Students interview students and/or
teachers to identify a problem (e.g., bullying on the playground)
and as a group brainstorm creative ways to address the problem
(producing a play that examines the issue, hosting a contest for
best ideas). Students develop creative solutions to a class or
school problem.
English – 4th Grade Students collect a variety of newspaper and
magazine articles on a social or environmental issue. In small
groups, they decide on an issue and a theme and style for a poem.
They use words and phrases cut from the articles to create a “found
poem” on their topic.
