The document provides instructions for an activity where students crumple up a piece of paper to represent how they feel when making a mistake, then color in the crumpled lines to turn the paper into art. Students then discuss in groups questions about how mistakes make them feel, how others see them, whether mistakes lead to new discoveries or pride, and if mistakes prompt deeper thinking. The purpose is for students to reflect on learning from mistakes through an interactive art activity and discussion.
