One of the reasons I chose Manal to interview is because I am always in awe of her creativity and I always think “I am not a creative person”. This also explains why this class was so attractive to me. I want to be a teacher who does things that are novel, effective and whole. I don’t want to depend on the book for content and I don’t want to spend my day lecturing. When I asked Manal if she thought people to could learn to be creative she said “find your passion”….be patient and think beyond the obvious. Sometimes I think teachers don’t have time to be patient when it comes to content and planning. I’ve been teaching for five years and this is the first time I’m teaching something for the 2nd time around, it’s the 2nd time I can actually improve upon what I did last year. But the time and patience I need to be hit with creative ideas is not realistic in my day to day life. My hope is that through this class and the assignments I will find my own spark of creativity and will be creating things others are in awe of.
