The document discusses encouraging creative writing in students. It suggests having students write together while listening to music or looking at pictures. The writing process should include formative self-assessment by students and feedback from teachers to help students improve. Some example writing activities are suggested, such as having young children write a five senses poem and teenagers write a shaped poem. The document concludes with a quote about the musical, architectural, and textile levels of the writing process and includes writing resources in the bibliography.
