When talking about creativity in teaching we can have as a starting point four main features: imagination, purpose, originality and value. Creativity means thinking and behaving using imagination. As teachers we can plan lessons where we encourage our students to question what is presented to them, to come up with new ideas, to use their background knowledge in order to make connections, to interpret the tasks in ways the teacher may not have thought about it. At this stage, students’ imagination is so rich, today’s world provides them so much information that we, as planners, will be surprised by the turns the lessons take through their answers.
