a workshop on reading/writing workshop where the consultant is promoting something called "A Living Book." The idea is that students will use it as "sort of" a journal, private thoughts, etc., and will also cut and paste samples of text (or teacher's handouts) and respond to them, draw, etc. Could include prompts and responses. It's a work in progress. We've debated such issues as whether or not to allow the kids to take them home, whether or not to assess it. Pam writes: Sounds similar to what I call an interactive notebook in my LA classroom.? I've never heard of a "living book," but this sounds? like it's interactive, contains notes from workshops, requires thoughtful responses in print/drawing/etc. and is a place to practice writing.? My IAN does all that.? Let us know more about what you learn on the Living Books. ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
