  5. How do we use a writer’s notebook? • Notebook walk mini lesson • Free-write mini lesson • Lift a line mini lesson

  6. When do we use a writer’s notebook? • Anytime throughout the day on the jot page (teacher models this all the time) • Homework – not with prompts, only Try-its (i.e. We worked on figurative language today on our narratives, revise for that in your writer’s notebook or start a new entry with attention to figurative language) • Homework entries can be used for editing practice the next morning. • ( Read page 27) • Writer’s notebook should be used throughout the school year during writing workshop- “What To Do When You Think You Are Done Writing?”

  7. Issues to Handle • With homework: get your parents on board, help them understand what a writer’s notebook is and is not • Writer’s returning to school with their notebook: Teach the importance of “write, write, backpack” • The mechanics (i.e. Do you skip lines or not? How to separate an entry from class writing and homework writing?) • Privacy issues and CPS: Message that whatever writers choose to write about in their notebook should be sharable (it’s not a diary) Folded pages signal privacy as an option for timid students who are not ready to share
