Fix-It Journal

Students explore creative problem-solving by analyzing short passages, identifying the problem and solution, and then writing their own “Fix-It Journal” responses with alternative resolutions. Each scenario involves realistic school or everyday situations, encouraging students to think practically and flexibly. The exercise promotes empathy, reasoning, and applied comprehension by blending analytical reading with imaginative writing.
