What Next? Futuristic Scenarios for Creative Problem Solving

Ignite your students’ imaginations with exciting, future-oriented activities. Imagine your students designing a television commercial in order to evaluate the growing power of mass media. Or, imagine your class working in small groups to develop a character sketch that probes the weaknesses of rampant consumerism. Or, stand back as your students prepare speeches that project current technology trends 20 years into the future. These activities are designed to improve students’ communication and problem-solving skills and to enlarge and enrich their images of the future.
