My Project

I’ve been looking for creative ways to engage my 8th grade students with writing. Students will utilize the notebooks to build and develop their writing. Being able to create and work on a collection of writing over time is vital to build connections and commitment to writing. The notecards, colored pencils, and storage items will help students plan and stay organized.

Providing materials to plan, draft, and store students writing within the classroom will help me inspire my students to write what they know, what they want to know, and what they feel.

Thank you for helping make this a reality.
