I am using "Daybooks" in third grade this year after being inspired by a book that was written by a group of writing project fellows. The book is called Thinking Out Loud on Paper: The Student Daybook as a Tool to Foster Learning. I loved the book. It is an easy read and is written from the viewpoint of an elementary, middle, high school, and college teacher. I think it is going to be a powerful tool. I found the book on Amazon and it is published by Heinemann. I think it was under $20. It was an enjoyable read. My kids have started today! They are so excited to hear that it is totally theirs and that I won't be "correcting" it. I think I am going to love it! Leslie

At the fourth grade level my lifebook became a combination of Caulkins and Fletcher's ideas...it was incredibly powerful and produced a very different type of writer, or rather students writing authentically. Would be interested to hear how others have worked with the concept. --- On Wed, 27/8/08, Lyndsay Buehler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Lyndsay Buehler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Lifebooks > To: "Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group" > <[email protected]> > Received: Wednesday, 27 August, 2008, 9:50 PM > Briana, > I know this only adds a question to your question, but what > are Lifebooks? > Thanks, > Lyndsay > Grade 1, Ontario, Canada > > On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 7:21 PM, > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Has anyone tried Lifebooks in 1st/2nd grade?
