On this page, you’ll find some pieces of student writing that demonstrate one or more of the habits of the creative mind in an interesting way. Those habits include: curiosity, openness, engagement, flexibility, creativity, persistence, responsibility, and meta-cognition. These pieces of writing may be rough around the edges, a bit messy in places, but they represent students reaching authentically towards their own understanding of themselves, writing, and their world.
