My smile is as broad as the grand canyon while I am doing a silent cheer. Bravo! This is exactly what I envisioned with both writer's notebook and our entrance into web 2.0 tools. How refreshing to read about students being intrinsicially motivated to do well - the power of an authentic audience. You would be laughing if you saw me as I am reading this post and the comments.

We try our best to keep them neat and tidy, but my students really have trouble with the papers getting ripped out of the binders and then putting them back in the right section! Since I've instituted a Writer's Notebook Rubric and the Writer's Notebook Self-Evaluation, which we complete periodically, they've been more serious of keeping it organized. But next year I'm spending a good part of my order on those little, round hole protectors for the papers in a binder :-) We have a few sections in our Notebooks: our “Bright Ideas” section where we keeps our lists of potential topics; our “Super Spicy Stories in Progress” section (this is where we keep the stories that we are thinking about publishing and stories that we work on during free writing); our “Perfectly Polished Published Pieces” section; and of course the “Marvelous Mini-Lessons” section.

Our students found a natural connection with Writer's Notebook and Voicethread too. Chris Fuhs and I did the Writer's Notebook lesson with the Ellison Die-Cuts to "spark" a quick write. We have also been experimenting with the technology tools that we learned from Betty to showcase student work. Two of our students used Voicethread to share their writing. It is tagged in Voicethread as Writer's Notebook, but here is the link too. http://voicethread.com/share/71030/ Let your students know, Room #28 agrees...they are a really smart bunch of third graders! Smart as a whip:) Kim Monroe & Chris Fuhs Room 28 Reeds Road Hey Jenna,

You are brilliant. I can't wait to try this with our 3rd grade Inclusion class at Roland. This will work with any student regardless of their levels (what a DI lesson, combined with technology). I like your idea of "Marvelous Mini-Lessons" section in the notebook. Do you have any other great sections that you're willing to share? Thanks for sharing! Barb Jenna,
