Notebook Know-how is short...but a goldmine of information about writer's notebooks. Here's a review from Jeff Anderson (who is a witty teacher and has also written a wonderful book about writing entitled: Mechanically Inclined)
By Jeff Anderson "writeguy1" (United States) Notebook Know-How: Strategies for the Writer's Notebook is a useful resource for teachers new to notebooks or seasoned veterans. The author, Aimee Buckner, really takes the reader on a journey of the writer's notebook with easy-to-use strategies that are as sound as can be. Always bringing us back to trusting the writing will come and it won't always be good. Really it won't. The part on assessment is inspiring. I really found myself thinking about my own teaching, how I use notebooks, and how I might do it all better. Her writing is magic in how it creates a map of flexibility and specificity without ever preaching. Ralph Fletcher got it right: "That's the best kind of teacher renewal I can imagine." I concur. -----Original Message----- On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can someone give me a synopsis of Notebook Knowhow...is this about writer's notebooks?
