1+-+Creating

= Creating = Creating is a process through which learners are provided with an opportunity to innovate and test boundaries. Learners construct meaning, apply critical thinking and original ideas to real-world situations, and share knowledge through self-expression, problem-posing and problem-solving, and reflection.

From Trans Skills // Communication // **Speaking:** I speak clearly. I express my ideas so that they make sense to others. I share my ideas and opinions. I can present my work to small and large groups. **Non-verbal communication:** I know that my body language, facial expressions and actions can give others a lot of information. I understand other peoples’ body language, facial expression and actions. I know that these things can mean different things in different countries.

// Thinking // **Evaluation:** I can use criteria to make decisions about work, behaviour, attitudes, knowledge or action. **Application:** I can use my skills and knowledge in different situations. I can use my skills and knowledge when I find myself in a new situation or to solve a problem. I can use my skills and knowledge in practical ways.

// Research // **Presenting research findings:** I can select an appropriate way to show what I have found out. I can communicate what I have learnt.

Other considerations - Add in media studies / skills components? MAPS - message, audience, purpose, style.
