The Best Lesson
From a recent post at Cathy Miranker’s blog, Bookmaking for Kids:
After we do the folds for the first time, I often have everyone ball up their books and toss them into recycling. When we do it a second time, I pass around my big, red stamps and let the kids label their efforts with a single word, DRAFT. Sometimes the third book is set aside for drafting, too. So by the fourth time around, I’ve got a roomful of experts, swiftly producing crisp folds, edges and corners neatly aligned, without a word from me.
