Wow. Coloring your own version of the Italian flag is going to help them tap into their creativity?!? Maybe I am just too much of a rabid homeschooler, but my kids are really creative -- when
I agree. Something that might inspire creativity in this situation might be, "Let's create our own kingdoms. What do the people do? What kind of technology do they have? What are the landscape and environment like? What else can you think if to describe them? You can daw a picture of a scene from the kingdom, write a story, draw their flag, etc. It's up to you."
Do you think the teacher would be open to suggestions along the lines of this one?
