This is a fantastic book to go looking for thanks Leslie...I've been able to read a couple of chapters on line from different sellers and it will be one I will buy. I have just started or am just starting a group with my colleagues called "Life books' and the plan is hopefully to inspire people to use it in their classroom. Last year many of my student's writer's notebooks became a 'life book' in that it did start to be a place where they felt it so special, that everything even a little special was placed in there. I ran a workshop for my colleagues on writer's notebook last year as well as working with it in the classroom so am thinking the adult group is a great way to connect and bond and try the experience together to see the possibilities with the students. We have started writer's notebook already but I think what I will do is adjust now the expectation as we have just collected our first week of golden lines. The students are just loving some of them so much, we could just now add the ones we want if we want. I think this has wonderful potential. Thank you so much for the ideas and sharing.

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!

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?
