This study aims to analyze and compare students’ creative processes in rewriting folklore through Padlet and Mini Class Theater media. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using qualitative content analysis. The research subjects were tenth-grade students of SMK Yadika 5 Pondok Aren consisting of classes using Padlet and Mini Class Theater. Data were collected through observation and documentation of students’ rewritten folklore texts and analyzed based on Torrance’s creativity aspects: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The results showed that both media supported students’ creativity development with different characteristics. Padlet tended to encourage higher creativity in fluency, flexibility, and elaboration through exploration, discussion, revision, and digital feedback. Meanwhile, Mini Class Theater strengthened students’ understanding of characters and emotions through role-playing experiences. The originality aspect appeared in both media with different forms of development. Therefore, Padlet supported broader creative exploration, while Mini Class Theater supported deeper character interpretation.
