Do you display draft work?

Display drafts and polished pieces. Showcasing drafts and finished work side by side tells children that we value the process of learning as much as we value the products. It's a great way to teach children that mistakes are an important part of learning, not something to be ashamed of or to hide. Teach children that a polished piece of writing next to a marked-up, crossed-out draft says, "Look how much I've grown!"

Do you display drafts to help learners see how much they've improved as suggested in this useful article?
