Student Example - Narrative
We use this as an example essay to introduce how to appropriately edit and revise a narrative. Students are given a checklist and a copy of this narrative.
First the students edit and revise by themselves. Then we share what they found and ADD, we always have to add more to what they initially edit and revise. It is nice to have a generic sample first because students tend to be more critical when it isn't their friends paper.
I put it on the Starboard/Smart Board or document projector

Fostering Creativity and Resilience in Children
Creativity is key to success in nearly everything we do. It is a major component of health and happiness and a core skill to practice with kids. Creativity is not limited to artistic and musical expression—it is also essential for science, math, and even social and emotional intelligence (Gardner,1993). Creative people are more flexible and better problem solvers, which makes them more able to adapt to technological advances and deal with change—as well as take advantage of new opportunities.
