This week we are setting up our Writer's Notebooks and preparing to become everyday writers. You may be wondering what a writer's notebook is and what it is to be used for. Writer's react. Writers need a place to record these reactions. That's what a writer's notebooks is for. It gives you a place to write down what makes you angry or sad or amazed, to write down what you notice and don't want to forget. A writer's notebook gives you a place to live like a writer. In today's world we don't use notebooks anymore, we blog! But for now, while we still do not all have easy access to a format where we can blog at a moments notice, this notebook will serve as your collection plate for ideas for stories, ideas, and thinking. This notebook is YOURS! It is not just for an assignment for this class so I would like for you to decorate the front and/or back as you see fit.
Students are also expected to present their Ceiling Tile work on their Literary Term to the class on Wednesday.
If you would like to know what else we have planned for the week, check out our weekly agendas on the class wiki. Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteOur notebooks are a reflection of our lives – there is enough organization to keep them functional and enough flexibility to keep them interesting.
