Read: About Your Writer's Notebook

Getting Started

Throughout this course you will be keeping a writer's notebook that will get you to act like a "real" writer and help you to create pieces of writing that are meaningful to you.  There will be teacher-directed entries and your own entries.  You will submit them in the Writer's Notebook dropbox for each unit.

Real writers use a notebook to:

• keep a record of observations and ideas.
• start drafts to use for later writing pieces.
• practice writing techniques.
• reflect on their writing process.
• practice writing fluency.
