The class was organized by three stages, 'introduction, development, arrangement and development'. The stage of 'introduction' was organized by introduction of fairy tales for invention class, the stage of 'development' was organized by reading of invention fairy tales, inquiring of inventional situation, searching of solutions and the stage of 'arrangement and development' was organized by writing of idea program and arrangement.
