How Creative Writing Can Increase Students’ Resilience

Introduction:


The life of a 12-year old can be tough. They often have to take care not only their own needs, but those for other people too! I’ve had many students who live in poverty with limited resources at home - this makes it hard on them and slowing down homework assignments so that you don't get stuck thinking about all your responsibilities issues isn't easy either because there's always something else needed first before we could focus enough time doing what needs done right now...


The responsibility may fall onto one child aged 7 or 8 years old when they're left alone.

Creative writing is a great way to connect with your students, while also nurturing their reading and writing skills. My favorite aspect of creative works are how they give me an opportunity for self-expression that I otherwise wouldn't have had in the classroom.


I've found it helpful when teaching fifth grade English atkinsonsville elementary school what helps build community between myself as teacher/mentor alongside new beginnings by giving these kids some space where we can create our own stories together!


In classrooms where students are invited to share their stories, they find that nobody’s life is perfect. In this kind of environment with a safe and respectful tone in voice from teachers as well peers who care about them deeply; these young people can take risks for learning which makes it easier when mistakes happen because there's nowhere else but home sweet home!


Fostering a growth mindset:

There are several ways students can boost their academic performance and develop resilience, one way being to build a growth mindset. This involves focusing on learning from mistakes as well as welcoming challenges with open arms; it goes hand in tow self-compassionate thinking that everyone struggles sometimes including you!

It's a great way for students to explore their perseverance, with themes including learning how find the courage within themselves and overcoming obstacles.


One exercise I find very useful is asking them write about one time when they faced extreme difficulty in class or sports but then persevered anyway because eventually everything got better! Some examples might be solving math problems that had been giving you trouble all term long, fighting back against an opponent who was beating us badly at football yesterday morning practice finally put ourselves right out there so we could win this match up easily despite being down three goals halfway through game.


Practicing kindness:

I have always been passionate about helping people find new ways of thinking, which is why I invite my students to take kind actions toward themselves and others.


The lyrics of this song remind us that our actions speak louder than words and have an incredible impact on those around us. Lyrics can be obtained from several lyric websites. (For example, metro lyrics, genius lyrics etc.).

The final refrain in particular calls out to contribute positively by doing what one loves.

Reaping the benefits:

The creative writing program had an amazing impact on student resilience. Last year, two-thirds of the students surveyed increased in self compassion; Alejandro's grew by 20%. I think this is due to how it helps them develop reading and writing skills as well!


As a teacher, it is my goal to meet students where they're at and learn about their whole lives. Through creative writing activities we create an environment in which compassionate individuals are able share the impact trauma has had on each others' experiences while building resilience together through this process of bearing witness so that change can happen within ourselves as well outside sources force us into action.


When I had a poster of an image in my classroom that showed hundreds-of refugees looking toward the sky, it really resonated with students on so many levels. Not only did they see themselves as part of this community and struggle for better lives but also recognized their own bravery by sharing what makes them feel vulnerable

I am not sure how else to put into words these thoughts which have been weighing heavily upon me lately--bearing witness teachers who risk everything each day just like those we write about in our stories do can make all human beings proud no matter where you come from or your background - because if there isn't much courage left inside then life itself will never get accomplished.
