Creating a teenager's imagination

This article examines certain features of school-aged children's imagination.

It speaks of sufficient mental potential for creative imagination development during adolescence. The analysis of creative writing also found that teen imagination is underdeveloped, ala diagrammatic manifestation, one-sided stories, failure to combine separate images into a single synthetic image. The native language and literature program are not running sufficiently at eight year schools along these lines, and also teachers do not make use of all opportunities to help develop creative imagination papers
