We have an exam today and I'm really excited, because my students are going to pass. They're Level One, which means they aren't confused yet.
They arrived five weeks ago with blank canvases. We have written words. We have drawn lines. But we have preserved space around the words and the lines. The paper isn't crowded. Eventually, inevitably, we will scribble and cross out and cover this first draft, because language learning is messy. Which is why perfectionists suffer and creative people excel.
Do you know the word palimpsest?
