swishing an over-the-shoulder-rainbow from half-court–
and, completing ANY hard task that will not come automatically……

requires one to enter an arena, an intermingled physical and imaginative space that is proper to a given task,
and then to welcome challenges and confusion–
and to persist in their midst with resilient concentration.

In this video, one will find an introduction to a new verb–to ennoummon–along with illustrations of the ennoummoning process, a manner of concentration and action which helps one to fulfill a creative intention.

Critically viewing the video and working with the curriculum materials will help participants to develop metacognition and to apply creative-thinking strategies that call upon metacognition in word-creation processes.
