Note 46 — 35. Telling Interesting Things

Note 46 (page 86). It is advised that, as pupils suggest improvements, each account be rewritten by the teacher. The improved account should be placed on the board beside the original, so that the differences may be apparent to all. Teachers should guide in these criticisms and reconstructions, but very gently, leaving pupils free to suggest and change, making them responsible for the improvement, putting nothing down that does not appeal to the class, thus confronting the pupils with the problem of making each account better and permitting them to feel and to enjoy the full challenge of this problem.
