We use this as an example essay to introduce how to appropriately edit and revise a narrative. Students are given a checklist and a copy of this narrative.

Importance of learning English language arts

Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information.
