It is here that your students brainstorm topics, play with leads and endings, try new revision strategies, or test out a genre for the first time. This compact quide--packed with lessons, tips, and samples of student writing--will help you get the most out of your writers` notebooks without sacrificing time needed for the rest of the literacy curriculum. Actually, you`ll probably find smart and focused use of the notebooks will enhance and deepen an understanding of both reading and writing for your students.
