Successful Strategies for Writer’s Notebooks and Journals
August 16, 2005
Another Tuesday, another Inbox. The Ideas section for this week’s Inbox focuses on the journals and notebooks that are such an important part of a writing class. The topic seemed like a useful back-to-school issue to consider. The ways that we introduce and structure writer’s notebooks or journals for students at the beginning of the term has repercussions that echo through the rest of the term or school year. The interesting thing about the resources this week is that many will work across grade levels. The ideas in the “Priming the Pump” article in the issue of School Talk that is included, for instance, could be used K to college. You’d just get different responses.
