How NOT to become THAT!! Barry, your quotes and "alternate organization style" is comforting and encouraging, as my journaling concurs. I love the "seedbed." The garden metaphor works so well, with the organic way that life and writing meet, collide, cohabitate, and develop together in the journal.

He cracked a roomful of teachers up and gave us great tips for teaching revision. I also have Barry's DISCOVER THE WRITER WITHIN, and an oldie, but goodie, WRITING AS A ROAD TO SELF-DISCOVERY. It was fun to peek inside his notebook today. Thanks, Amy!

Thank you, Amy...There is so much gold on this site! Thank you, Amy and thank you sharers, especially Barry! I love how you used the Lincoln postcard in your notebook. And your clippings and cartoon ideas. If we give kids tools, models, time to write and engage with them and their ideas, well.....then maybe we would actually have real writers grow in our classrooms. I like the songs Amy LV has shared at The Poem Farm especially the one about the child being more than a number or a test score!! Also thank you for the Tom Newkirk clip. Donald Graves was/is my hero! I have read and re-read so much of his work and many of the other pioneers and leaders (current ones, too) in the writing-reading workshop world. Living Between the Lines and Lucy Calkins' intro to writer's notebooks was a huge help to me as a 5th grade teacher working virtually alone trying to bring this approach to life in my area back in the 80s and 90s! Teachers are lucky to have these resources to inspire their students and give them models!

Typing is new in the evolutionary cycle. Notebooks are closer to drawing in caves.

I so enjoy when they share what they have written. My fingers are crossed to be the winner. The Barry Lane prize pack looks amazing!

We are always looking for ways to show our students how they can use their Writer's Notebooks, and this a perfect example of the variety of entries they can make! It also shows where writers get their ideas and inspiration from.... from the world all around them!

I'm glad I clicked the link and read through this. His raccoon picture along with his reflections on the past reminds of an ariel photograph of my grandparents house I took to school to share with my kids. I've been so busy, I put in the corner and forgot to share but I'm going to pull it out on Monday. Just like Barry's picture, it's full of memories and great things to write about. This is a great blog! Can't wait to read more.

I'm convinced that notebooks made them writers, as you said, & they also slowed them down so they could think through things. Especially since computers have become more & more in the forefront of students' work habits, they seem to be in a hurry, want to finish. Notebooks allowed the thinking, the idea-making, the creating that happened less in other places, except art. Sketchbooks too kept them slow & contemplative. Thanks for your sharing of those older ideas too. What a treat to see.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443776659707935381.post-85173769589033949922012-09-16T04:24:37.325-07:002012-09-16T04:24:37.325-07:00I love all the entries with illustrations.

I just want to teach (and not to a test)! <br />I also love Tom Newkirk's little movie-you have to "treat young writers as writers". I hope I have already instilled that in my 2nd graders. I have students at all stages right now and they are humming along in the process!
