Form groups of four to six students. Each of you should be given some ordinary, tangible object, such as a USB flashdrive, water bottle, or a highlighter. Find a new use for the item that has nothing to do with the item’s ordinary use. To do this, you must perceive the item in entirely new ways. To help you do this, your instructor can lead you in a guided meditation. For instance, imagine that the USB drive is alive and is sending you messages about what it would like to be used for. After you have discussed the problem in your groups for 15–20 minutes, present your favorite solution to the class. Then all of you should vote to select the most creative idea. (Perhaps your instructor will award prizes to the winning group.)
