The purpose of this forum is to discuss creative individuals throughout history and share information that will enhance the learning experience of fellow students.

Instructions:

The individual must be featured in the textbook (1,2,7,8,10) and their life must be before 1700. It must be an actual person, not a god or fictional character from a book. If you do not have access to the textbook, the chapter outlines include a list of creative individuals featured in each chapter.

Include an image of the individual or of one of their accomplishments with your post. Instructions are listed below.

Your post must be original. Do not post on the same creative individual as another student. Look through the posts already submitted to avoid duplication. Post early to have the greatest selection of creative individuals. Reduced credit will be given to posts that do not follow this requirement.

Research: Use the textbook as a starting point and do some online research to find more information about your creative individual, their ideas or creative contributions.

Tell us something interesting about their life. Do some research to find out more about the individual. Use your own words. No lists or bullet points or quotes.

• Paragraph 2: (10-15 sentences) Critique the individual’s contributions. Why did you select this individual? Why do you think they are creative? In your opinion what is the most interesting aspect of their career? What impressed you most about their contributions? Were they influential or did they have a positive impact on society? How did they demonstrate creativity? “I think he is creative because…I think the most important contribution they made is…I think they were influential because….I chose this individual because…” “What impressed me most about them…”
