So is lesson planning a "creative aim?” You bet it is. However, my current lessons involve not the eye, but the “inner ear.” This week my sixth graders are listening to selected classical music pieces, writing down adjectives that describe the music, and then writing a poem, which is inspired by the music. Check out this line one my students wrote after listening to Sabre Dance:
The frantic music is like a fast Ford speeding on freeway, energetic and loud.

Pretty creative, huh?
Yes, it is!
