Fluency
coming up with lots of ideas |
Put yourself back in time. You are going to a new land and starting a new settlement. Make a list of all of the things a settlement needs to be successful. |
Flexibility
changing or organizing ideas |
Place the settlement needs into categories. For example:
Family Community Both |
Originality
seeking the unusual |
You want everyone to be happy and content in your new settlement. Come up with a plan to make this happen. |
Elaboration
expanding ideas |
Look at your plan for happiness more closely. Write a PMI (Pluses, Minuses, Interesting ideas) to see if your plan is a good one. |
Risk Taking
experimenting with new ideas |
Some early settlement groups didn't think about what their actions would do to the environment. What will you do to make sure your new settlement doesn't make this mistake? |
Complexity
looking at situations logically |
Plan ahead. Think of at least five challenges your new settlement might encounter. Come up with an action plan for dealing with each. |
Curiosity
wondering about the options |
What would your role be in this new settlement? Why? |
Imagination
reaching beyond the limits of the practical |
Imagine that you could go beyond the possible. What would you create or do to improve the early experiences of your settlement group? |
