What Goes in a Writing Notebook?

Now that we’ve decorated our notebooks, what will we put in them? Here are some suggestions students have made over the years:

·      our thoughts

·      memories

·      feelings

·      lists

·      favorites

·      observations and descriptions

·      wonderings

·      quotes/words/examples of beautiful language

·      poems

·      comics

·      stories

·      prayers

·      adventures

·      sketches and labels

·      reviews

·      people, places & things we care about 

5 things I love

Another way to get your writing practice going is to keep a daily list of 5 things you love. If you do this often enough you will notice that you repeat certain things over and over again, and you’ll get to know yourself a little better. Try it!
