The use of notebooks is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in the essay-writing process. Using the guided writers' workshop model in our curriculum, students use outlines and graphic organizers for guided practice and to record pre-writing notes. The notebooks allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide a place for them to show and share their writing progress. What becomes a problem is the fact that loose worksheets are frequently lost, students make mistakes and want a "do over" on a new sheet, and I run out of my allotted copies per year. When something goes awry, students know that they must start over on a new worksheet, losing their work, or that they will inevitably be behind in their writing. This derails our collaborative writing sessions, and they miss important instruction form either myself or other students. By having a class set of RocketBooks that remains in the classroom, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their learning! By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student organization and productivity, but also, you will ultimately help to increase their writing skills. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not if their materials are missing or not up-to-date. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
