Product Description
Writers are like other people, except for at least one important difference. Other people have daily thoughts and feelings, notice this sky or that smell, but they don’t do much about it. Not writers. Writers react. And writers need a place to record those reactions. That’s what a writer’s notebook is for. It gives you a place to write down what makes you angry or sad or amazed, to write down what you noticed and don’t want to forget. . . .Amazon.com Review

I found this book not very helpful. It was an easy read, but not very informative if you are just beginning the writer’s notebook.

I LOVE pretty much everything Ralph Fletcher does for writers. I wish that I had enough money to buy this book for everyone of my students in middle school. It is the perfect gift to give each student on the first day of school along with a blank writer’s notebook. The simple, yet encouraging words leave almost any amateur ready to move their pens!

The book has a more narrative structure which makes it difficult to use as a reference for teaching. It does have some great examples of lesson ideas buried in there, though. I bought this book along with Notebook Know-How by Aimee Buckner and liked that much better for helping me teach.

Ralph Fletcher does more than just tell you to write about something in your notebook, he inspires you through story and example to be the best writer that you can be. Excellent book to use in the classroom from about 3rd grade onto high school.
