More Writer's Notebooks
Back in the classroom with grade 3/4 this year (2016) and one of the first things I spent time setting up was Writer's Notebook. I must admit I had way too much fun putting it all together.
This year we've gone for a 'kit' type feel. A big black document wallet envelops the scrap book we're using as the actual notebook, which allows us to tuck a draft book and spelling resource inside.
New drafting and help sheets were created and these were laminated and made to flip over the text of the draft book (photos show it better than I'm explaining!)
I've been a bit more prescribed this year with the actual notebook pages - giving the kids a pro forma to work with for their seeds. I really wanted to scaffold these kids well as they were new to writer's notebook. We'll drop the pro forma later when we're all off and racing
As usual, I made my own writer's notebook to model for the kids. It was a Sunday afternoon's work and quite enjoyable. I also stuck samples from notebooks I'd done for other grades in the back.
