You may want to go so far as to mix the papers up yourself and then redistribute them randomly before pairing students up together.

Highlighting: Students of all ages love to highlight! Allow them to highlight certain aspects of their papers that you deem important. The focus can change as you review different writing skills.

25 Things You Should Know About Storytelling

25 Things You Should Know About Storytelling:

"1. Stories Have Power

Outside the air we breathe and the blood in our bodies, the one thing that connects us modern humans today with the shamans and emperors and serfs and alien astronauts of our past is a heritage — a lineage — of stories.

A good story is as powerful as the bullet fired from an assassin’s gun."
