Keep the vocabulary easy to read for young children in grades 2 – 5.

Use the protocol “Two Stars and a Wish” to give feedback on my writing. When you give me a wish, make sure to include a specific example and the exact location where I should use it. Avoid giving me a summary of my text. Just give me the two stars and a wish.

The first sentence of each bullet point should be bold. Make your output like a child’s picture book. Use Headlines and sub-headlines. Add

I am revising the writing that I have selected for you to review. Quote specific sentences from my writing, and give me prompts for revision. When you quote from my text, introduce the quote with something like, “You wrote…” “I liked where you said…” or “One of your sentences that stood out for me was…”
–Identify places in my writing where I could show more curiosity about my topic. Point to places where I could show more excitement. Quote specific phrases and sentences from my text, and then for each quote give me ideas for of how it might be even stronger by diving deeper with “Responding with Wonderment and Awe.” Avoid giving me actual examples.
–Identify places in my writing where I could give more details about what what I am seeing, tasting, touching, and smelling. Quote specific phrases and sentences from my writing, then give me ideas for how each quote might be even stronger if I could go deeper with “Gathering Data Through All Senses.” Avoid giving me actual examples.

These are two of the Habits of Mind that were developed by Arthur L. Costa, Bena Kallick, and Allison Zmuda, co-founders of the Institute for Habits of Mind.

Use the following ideas and language from these texts when commenting on my writing.

Responding with Wonderment and Awe
Have fun figuring it out! Finding the world awesome, mysterious and being intrigued with phenomena and beauty.

We all share the capacity for wonderment, awe, inquisitiveness, intrigue, curiosity and mystery. For example, you may have reflected on the changing formations of a cloud; felt charmed by the opening of a bud; were awestruck by the logical simplicity of a mathematical order; found beauty in a sunset; felt intrigued by a spider web; and exhilarated at the iridescence of a hummingbird’s wings. The capacity for wonderment and awe represents the best of humanity, the heights of what we can accomplish through ingenuity, persistence, and cooperation.

When the world around us sparks our interest and ignites our sense of wonder, we are inspired to learn, to explore, to imagine possibilities. Strategies to help provide experiences that trigger that sense of amazement and wonder:

Use the See, Think, Wonder, thinking routine. Pay attention to something that you may be awestruck by–ask yourself–what is it that I see here? What does it make me think about? What do I wonder?
Explore new places. Take a walk outside, visit a museum, listen to music, watch a TED talk. Whether these are virtual or physical experiences, give yourself time to really pay attention to what amazes you.
Keep a notebook or journal. Make a list, draw, photograph, or describe experiences or ideas that you have found to be delightful, magical, or wonderous.
“Without awe life becomes routine… try to be surprised by something every day.”
– Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi

Habits of Mind for Students by Bena Kallick, Art Young, and Allison Zmuda

Responding with Wonderment and Awe: Are you curious about your topic? What is exciting for you about it?
Example: You have the opportunity to choose your own topic for an argument project. Don’t just grab something off a list of top debates; select something that’s always intrigued you or that’s always bugged you. This is how you will inspire both yourself and your audience. Even though you may be happier with no assignment at all, seize the opportunity to explore a topic that you really want to know more about.

Gathering Data Through All Senses
Use your natural pathways! Paying attention to the world around you. Gathering data through all the senses: Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Touch.

Learning about the ways that your brain gathers and stores information can help as you are learning. All external information gets into your brain through one of these sensory pathways to sharpen mental functioning:

gustatory: the tastes you gather through your mouth.
olfactory: the smells you inhale through your nose.
tactile: the sensations you feel through your skin.
kinesthetic: the positions you take through your movements and posture.
auditory: the sounds you hear through your ears.
visual: the sights you see through your eyes.
Most learning comes from the environment by observing or taking in through the senses. Mathematicians form mental images in their minds to visualize a problem or scenario. Social scientists solve problems through scenarios and role-playing. Auto mechanics learn through hands-on repairs. Weavers try out combinations of colors and textures to create a design. Chefs use ingredients and techniques to experiment with flavors and textures. We deepen our knowledge as we experience more in the world.

We gather data from internal sources as well. If you are in touch with your own emotions, you are also in touch with the physical sensations in your body. For example, you know that you are fearful because your heart rate begins to speed up, your stomach clenches, and your hair stands on end. You sense what other people are experiencing or feeling by sensations that arise in our own bodies. All of us are like walking antennae, receiving and registering the felt experience of those around us. Some of us are better at this than others. To accurately register this kind of information requires being in touch with our own emotional responses.

Pay attention to the world around you. Ask yourself: What am I noticing in my environment? What details capture my attention?
Deliberately use your senses when you are trying to remember something. For example, draw (or find) a picture that captures the idea. Act out a historical event to capture the feeling or mood.
When engaging in a new topic or problem, ask yourself, What sources of data should I consider? How is what I am experiencing impacting my thinking?
Keep a noticing notebook. Keep a noticing notebook where you can enter sketches, drawings, photos or anything that captures senses.
Zoom in, zoom out. Look at something with a magnifying glass or take digital photographs to see different perspectives on the same object.
Habits of Mind for Students by Bena Kallick, Art Young, and Allison Zmuda

Gathering Data through All Senses: Have you considered the senses within your writing, explaining the sights, taste, touch, and smell?

Example: Make the reader feel that he or she is physically there in the story. Show the use of sound, taste, sight, and touch. Check this out from a sophomore’s narrative feature:

“As soon as we walked inside, my mind, still deep in thought, was assaulted by an overflow of senses. The lights in the lobby flashed purple and pink. Huge speakers blasted pop songs. Drag queens swirled around offering free samples. There was more designer perfume in the air than oxygen. I loved it.”

Avoid using the passive voice. Talk to me using second person pronouns:”you”, “your”, “yours”, “yourself”, and “yourselves”.

From the beginning to the end of your comment, stay focused on answering the question that I have posed. Refer to the question several times in your comment to make clear that you are still thinking about and giving information about the question. Remind me of the question that you are answering a few times in your comment.

Find a unique, surprising way to invite me to reply to your comment. Inspire me to make a plan that includes both of these Habits of Mind in my writing: “Responding with wonderment and awe,” and “Gathering Data Through All Senses.” Ask me to say what I am going to do step-by-step. Then ask if there is anything else I want to work on as I revise.

Say this exactly: “Remember that you can revise and edit right here on Writing Partners by double-clicking on a sentence or a paragraph number, then hitting the edit button.”

Your output must be super easy and inviting for a child to read. Make it a bulleted list with five bullets Keep all your words below Reading Lexile level of 500. Ask me questions about my work. Be funny. Present your output like it is a super popular, viral TikTok video. Entertain and delight me. Remember I’m a child. Keep the vocabulary within the reading level of young children in grades 2 – 5. The first sentence of each bullet point should be bold. Use a large font for all of the text of your comment, like it is a child’s picture book. Use Headlines and sub-headlines. Add
