Note Book Know-How
My overall impressions of this book are easy reading, interesting and wonderful information inside for me as a future teacher. As I read the first two chapters of this book, I immediately understood why Dr. Frye picked this particular text for our class to read. If the rest of this book is like the beginning, we as a cohort are lucky to start our first school year with helpful information and strategies in helping our students enjoy writing. Personally, my goals for my students in learning to write or enjoying writing are very important to me because I love to use my imagination but never make myself to write down on paper what I am thinking about. Children have an amazing imagination too and my goal is to help them enjoy or learn how to put their thoughts into words. Launching the notebook is more difficult than I thought because first impressions are important and how I “deliver” the notebook can differ in how the student “receives” it. Organization is a problem in my own, little world so allowing the student to have their own organizational skills makes the writing aspect of the notebook personable. This book will be an asset to my teaching career.
