You notebooks, in their variety and in the obvious satisfaction you take from keeping them, are such powerful testaments to the value of living a writer's life. You observe, you keep notes, you reflect, you dream...and your notebooks become a sort of Pensieve (to borrow from dear, old Harry Potter), if you are wise enough to keep them and tend to them, as you do, Linda. Thank you for giving us a glimpse!Tara @ A Teaching Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07195982194362559883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443776659707935381.post-35405711838001128732013-07-09T19:30:44.389-07:002013-07-09T19:30:44.389-07:00Thanks Crystal.

As a teacher waiting for my own classroom, I cannot wait to write with my students, making it an activity we share, not just one I expect them to do! I often find myself drawing stick figures of joyful moments with my own daughter (in lieu of your sketches). I only hope that she enjoys writing as much as I do!<br />CrystalCrystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811377268815824545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443776659707935381.post-16352832582451401102013-07-09T18:46:16.036-07:002013-07-09T18:46:16.036-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811377268815824545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443776659707935381.post-5641535538581005422013-07-09T13:35:16.902-07:002013-07-09T13:35:16.902-07:00Thank you Keri.

I love the idea of having students keep a notebook, but I struggled with how to implement it last year. My own notebook keeping is rather sporadic, and a lot of it is actually digital on Evernote, so it was hard to imagine what kinds of activities to do with students in notebooks, aside from heart maps and some sensory pre-writing activities. The "day in a life" exercise will definitely be something we do early this fall! During my local Writing Project Summer Institute, I also learned a lot about using quick-writes to get started on lots of different kinds of pieces that could then be revisited later and finished. So now I have all sorts of good ideas! I always love peeking into your classroom, Linda!

I have just started to live a "writerly life" and started a notebook for the beginning assignment of Teachers Write! I can't believe how ideas have just exploded.

I don't think I've ever seen a journal with pockets. Thanks so much for the idea, Mary! And of course you can say 'pick me'.
