Summary
Asking students to “think creatively” won’t get you far. They won’t know how to start, they’ll get stuck with simple ideas, or they’ll just go completely wild. SCAMPER is a tool for scaffolding the process of creativity.
- We begin with practicing Substitute and Combine.
- Then students will try Apply, Max/Minimize, and Put To Other Uses.
- Finally, they use Eliminate and Rearrange.
