Human Ingenuity

On the IB Website the definition of Human Ingenuity is...

• Why and how do we create?
• What are the consequences?

This area of interaction allows students to explore in multiple ways the processes and products of human creativity, and to consider their impact on society and the mind.
Human ingenuity allow students to focus on the evolution, process and products of human creativity and their impact on life and society. Human ingenuity provides opportunities for students to appreciate and develop in themselves the human capacity to create, transform, enjoy and improve the quality of life.
In particular, human ingenuity:

• stresses the way humans can initiate change, whether for good or bad, and examines the consequences
• emphasizes both the importance of researching the developments made by people across space, time and cultures, and the importance of taking time to reflect on these developments.

In this way, human ingenuity goes beyond the act of creation alone, leading students to examine, experience and reflect on the creative process.

Evaluating my sources

All of my sources were other review websites except one.  I used them to help me create a guideline foir my reviews.

http://www.teenink.com/
Teen Ink is a teen literary magazine and website.  They also have reviews.  I used the website to look at their style for reviews and the way their website was set up.  I would say this is a fairly good source.  Before this project I had never really written reviews of books, so it was good to be able to read other people's reviews to understand how to create a review.

I liked the way this site has their home page has a search bar where you can search genres, characters, and plots which is really cool.  I don't really like all of the reviews on the website because most of are not very helpful.  This website isn't to good of a source for what I was looking for, but it did help a little bit.

I really like the way this cite sets up their reviews.  They flow really well and are extremely helpful.  I think this cite was a fairly good resource for my project.

This is one of my only sites that isn't an acutal review website.  This is site shows guidelines on how to critique.  Even though it mainly talks about using this for critiquing.  I think this was a great source.
