The Purpose of the Marble Run Between Tables Group Project
The Purpose of the Marble Run Between Tables Group Project
I assigned a reflective exercise to develop the innovation skills that you are expected to demonstrate in your Major Design Project - specifically:
Creative Thinking Skills
- Using multiple strategies to generate original ideas
- Leading others in brainstorming
- Representing thinking in various forms so that others can understand and respond to ideas (such as sketches, prototypes, or storyboards)
- Use of iterative process to prototype and evaluate, elicit feedback, and synthesize to improve on ideas
Working Creatively with Others (Group Work)
- Actively contributing original ideas and feedback to team
- Amplifying others' thinking and models how to build on good ideas
- Showing leadership in helping advance team effort
Our class gave a below average effort in providing evidence that you can document these skills on the formative exercise - a journal and reflective web post based on what you did, what you demonstrated, and what you learned on this exercise - (only 2 of 22 students prepared a web post within five calendar days after the due date; one effort was scored as 5/50; the other 10/50.
As a consequence, I am revising the guidelines for Summative Reflective Exercise.

There are four (4) instances in the Innovative Rubric regarding Thinking Creatively, and three (3) instances in the Innovation Rubric regarding Working Creatively with Others.
- Select any 3 (out of 4) Instances of Thinking Creatively in the Innovation Rubric (Above). Post a 50-100 word journal for each instance that you chose to write about along with supporting evidence (sketches, drawings, images, video) demonstrating how you performed on each instance of Thinking Creatively.
- Select any 2 (out of 3) instance of Working Creatively with Others in the Innovation Rubric (Above). Post a 50-100 word journal for each instance that you chose to write about along with supporting evidence (sketches, drawings, images, video) demonstrating how you performed on each instance of Working Creatively with Others.
- Self-Assessment - Rate you performance on this exercise on the Innovation Rubric Scale - that is, BEGINNING, DEVELOPING, or PROFICIENT. Justify your rating in an IB Style Short Essay (three themes, three supporting bullet arguments for each theme)
