Questions:

1. List A- Give 5 words associated with 'Creativity'. List B- Give 5 words not associated with 'Creativity'

List A:

4. Rough - Someone creative know how to make their work smooth, clean and beautiful.

2. Respond and reflect to the Ken Robinson 2006 Ted Talk episode on creativity education and intelligence.

Sir Ken Robinson said that "Children are not afraid of being wrong and they are born artist, and the problem is to make an artist as we'll grow up".  I remember when I was a kid, I love to imitate an actress and I love to re-enact a few scenes in a film. To make it short, I love acting. Then, when time flies, I went to school, my teacher said, "being an actress is not a good choice of career". So, I stop dreaming about it anymore. I think,  we need to support the children, send them to the right academy to develop their skills. If I went to acting school back then, maybe I am an actress today. :)

Thank you.
