The Apple

A picture of an apple was given, and the first person was say what comes their mind when they see the apple, the second person was to relate what the first person said to something that comes to their mind, and so on. this took place between a tutorial class of 10 and the words below were given;

Apple
fruit
orange
banana
tree
seeds
soil
nutrients
minerals
vitamins
health

From reading this i noticed that free association was being used by this class. where words are being associated from the previous word said. This a way of writing to stimulate creative thinking
