Suzie, You are way ahead of me! Let me know if you know of any good reads on the topic. I loved reading the book I recommended, but I don't think you will learn anything new from it. It may just serve to validate what you are already doing. It might be a book to read with your adult group. Would you explain more about your "golden lines" or did I miss that message? Leslie
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. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
