12:00 Mini-lesson• Readers’ and Writers’ Notebooks

12:00 Mini-lessonReader’s Notebook

Purpose: “The reader’s notebook is an integral part of reading workshop and is a great tool for authentic assessment. It goes hand-in-hand with read-aloud with accountable talk and will really be powerful if students learn to talk deeply in preparation for writing. The main reason for a reader’s notebook, in my opinion, is to deepen students’ ability to think, talk, and write about their reading. Pictured here are a few entries from my own reader’s notebook.”

12:00 Mini-lesson

Purpose: “We want them to see themselves as writers. The writer’s notebook can make this happen. A student who keeps a notebook can begin to livelike a writer—noticing, paying attention, listening, collecting, musing, wondering,playing with language, taking pleasure in her own words. And because the notebook is portable, it encourages kids to write not just during the workshop but at all hours of the day” (Fletcher, 2001)
