Editorial Reviews:

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 . . . .

Summary: Liked "Notebook Know-How" by Aimee Buckner better
Comment: 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.

Summary: A Writer's Notebook
Comment: 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.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Thoughtful and inspiring
Comment: 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.

Summary: A "Must Have" Book for Writers and Writing Teachers
Comment: Ralph Fletcher demystifies how to make a writer's notebook work for anyone who is serious (or even not-so-serious) about bringing words to life on paper. He has a way of making the the abstract concrete and the complex simple. A WRITER'S NOTEBOOK: UNLOCKING THE WRITER WITHIN YOU delivers what the the title promises.

Summary: It's the real thing!
Comment: I am a newspaper columnist and substitute teacher. I was subbing in a fourth grade class and due to a sudden shift in schedules, I had about 20 minutes to fill. I saw Fletcher's book on the chalk ledge and thought I'd read a chapter and make my own professional commentary. When I read the part about collecting ideas in a "ditch," I pulled my writer's notebook out of my coat pocket and shared all my little bits and pieces with the kids. It just so happened I'd recorded incidents that had happened in that school. What great support for my "real life" lesson.
