     The program of the CID course was elaborated and defined in Petrozavodsk in 1996.  Six workbooks with special methodological recommendations (for each semester) were worked out.  The program and all the methodological material were probated on the basis of the "TRIZ Laboratory" at the Petrozavodsk School #17.

     This pamphlet introduces the methodological instructions for the secpmd semester of the CID first grade ("The Fairy Tales School").
 
 
 

"The Fairy Tales School".  Creative Imagination Development Course for the elementary school (The second semester of the first grade).  Methodological instructions.

Reprints and distribution only by author's permission.

       For better perception the following symbols are used in the methodical guide-book:
 

	- problems.  For the first grade simple problems demanding answers "yes-no" are used. The major notions of the methods of solving problems are studied in the second and third grades. That is why the most suitable form for solving creative problems is a game "yes-no".  The rules of the game are not difficult.  After the problem is introduced the kids start to look for the solution by asking questions to which the teacher replies "yes" or "no".  The aim of the game is to find a solution by asking as many questions as possible.
	- activities.  During these activities it is important that the kids understand how this or that notion may be used for solving the problems, for obtaining new ideas, etc.
	- psychotechnical games.  This is a specific part of the lesson.  Kids may relax a little and turn to their inner world, the world of a child's fantasy.  It goes without saying how important is the atmosphere of trust, friendliness in your small community.
	- speech developing activities.  We all know very well how easy to speak with a person, who can ask interesting questions.  CID classes are structured in a form of a dialogue, therefore actually any task is an exercise on speech developing.  Nevertheless, devising their own riddles, proverbs, tales, the kid learns not only to say "full sentences", but develops a need to formulate his idea in such a way that he would be understood and his wits and humor be assessed.  Describing various systems, solving unusual problems, the kids enrich their vocabulary all the time.
	- designing a creative product.  Don't be confused by an unusual term.  "Creative product" is something finished, designed by the kids with the help of methods they study (a riddle, a proverb, a tale, a model of a toy, articles of natural materials and others).
	- tasks-pictures.  At the CID classes there are many activities like that because a new creative idea is often embodied in images, especially it refers to the kids with a strong visual representative system.  Most of these tasks are unique stuff for a psychologist, for attentive parents, because in this pictures the inner world of a child is reflected as if in a mirror.
