Notebook Know-How: Strategies For The Writer's Notebook

by Aimee Buckner

I’m surprised that I’m getting so much from this text. I bought it on the strength of Ralph Fletcher’s (Just love him!) introduction without realizing that it is, primarily, an elementary school resource. I figured I’d read through it one time before I mailed it to a friend that teaches elementary education classes at U. Maine. Much to my surprise, I’ve gotten some ideas that have worked really well in my 10th grade honors English Writers’ Workshop.

While I certainly don’t tell my 10th graders that they’re using techniques from an elementary school resource (that would be too uncool), whenever I roll a new idea out, their response and their writing has been quite good. If you’re looking for fresh writing workshop ideas in a workable format then give this text a try.

Why I recommend "Dingo"

nobody@allconsuming.net (EngIIRockz) — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 15:07:22 GMT

Dingo

by Charles de Lint

Dingo by Charles de Lint

This has many of the elements that I love the most from de Lint’s writing: shape shifters, cousins – both corbae and canid, travel between worlds, new relationships, and open minds. The dingo sisters remind me a bit of the Crow Girls, my favorite Newford characters, but they seem a little closer to human on the human/cousin spectrum. The Aussie connection to de Lint’s Dreamworld mythology is a really nice touch which keeps the story fresh. If you’re a de Lint fan, step through the baobab tree and enjoy.
