Something I learnt today? Setting up the learning environment for writing is essential. Setting clear expectations for the meeting spaces. Students needs to be ready to come to the floor. Having a writer’s notebook that is created by the teacher is a valuable tool. I didn’t Know….I was unaware that the Writer’s Notebook can be taken home. The students can take it out to the world with them. They can fill it in and bring in back with their ideas. A question I still have…How often do you create a seed? Can there be too many seeds?

The importance of having a class writing notebook to help share your writing enthusiasm :)

I didn't know...
That students should be given at least 25-45 minutes to write.

A question I still have...
How can we allow the students the 45 minutes of writing time with our timetables? Do we do a double of writing to allow this to happen?

Something I learnt today how to effective a teacher's writer notebook could be.
