Hi Pam, I mentioned collecting 1/3 of each class' journals at a time. 1/3 on Monday, 1/3 Tuesday, and 1/3 Wed. I simply went down my class lists and labeled them M-T-W. Since I have 3 reading classes, I collect period one (which I call "red") this week, period two (blue) next week, and period 3 (green) the following week. Students know well in advance when their journals are due and, of course, I post the class whose journals are due each week on the homework board. This method makes journal collection easy and also keeps responding manageable. (I'm only responding to 8-10 journals per night.) Barbara/6th/FL
-----Original Message----- On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Someone, Kim maybe?, said that they collect 1/2 a class at a time. How and when do you let the kids know you are collecting notebooks? That sounds like something that might work for me.
