Last year I used Writer’s Notebook to reinforce and teach new writing techniques. Students looked forward to using and sharing their writings. I didn’t realize the full impact of the Writer’s Notebook activities until the following September when former students shared recent writings from their 8th grade language arts class. Within these writings were all of the compositional risks and advanced writing techniques that I had taught through Writer’s Notebook. The pieces were high school level writings. Each of the students contributed use of the Writer’s Notebook as the vehicle that enabled them make these advanced writing techniques part of their writing style. It just doesn’t get any better than this!
