Creativity assessment

There is a great number of criteria and rubrics to assess language knowledge or communicative skills. Any creative task refers to individual or group work and is targeted at revealing student's self  and personality. This is an opportunity for a learner to bring their message to a partner, interlocutor. Thus, they should employ various language to make an impact on their partners, which could be part of an assessment criteria and feedback as it is presented in the webinar of Claire Steele about Creative feedback  Which aspects or categories you include into feedback and assessment of a creative task? 

I think, giving feedback is a powerful way to assess students' creativity. When teachers reflect on students' performance, I mean task achievement or the process they do, it provides valuable insights into their success and challenges. When feedback is timely and specific it helps students understand not only what they've done well but also where they can improve, which is crucial for growth.It also encourages students to think critically about their work and develop ideas, boosts their confidence. They see that their creative efforts are valued, whatever the final result. Feedback does not only assess but also foster students' creativity. I want to draw your attention to feedback on engagement and impact, because creativity is not only about creation itself, but also about communication and sharing with others. I often say,"You did a great job engaging your audience, but next time, try to vary your vocabulary".

Thank you, Assira, for your attitude to feedback and its role in learning. I've noticed that in your feedback you'd note varying vocabulary. How about assessing creativity which could be traced in content different from ordinary one or according to a template. Usually we refer to design speaking about creativity. But story plot could be different from others. So, it would be lovely to know if there are any criteria to assess creativity?
