ABSTRACT
The impulse to create is one of our most basic impulses. In creativity there is a process and an end product. The process demands courage, will, originality and preseverance. By writing an essay, or completing a project, people are engaging in a creative process that will have an end product, which will be publicly graded. Not surprisingly, students often get overwhelmed by this process. By having too much, or too little information, they run out of time, cannot see the wood for the trees, cannot face the blank page, or cannot think clearly: they are temporarily stuck. This activity recognizes that being stuck is part of the creative process. Materials required are flip chart paper, blue tack, felt tips and gentle music.
