Videos for Journal 7, due April 23rd

For Journal 7, you will still be doing a They Say/I Say Journal in which you present a summary and response. However, this time you will summarize and respond to videos rather than a reading.
As we move into our creative Project 3, I want you to start thinking about the power of creative writing/thinking and storytelling.
Watch the following videos and write a They Say/I Say Journal 7 in which you briefly summarize the ideas in each video in the They Say section.
Then, respond to the videos in the I Say section. How do you feel about the ideas in the videos? Do you agree with the points the makers of these videos are making? Disagree? Do you connect with these ideas? How has creative writing (reading others' creations or writing your own) impacted your life? Is thinking (and writing) creatively important for children and adults? Can stories shape the way we see ourselves and spark social change?
In the first video, the speaker argues that schools are killing creativity in children:
