A notebook is where you keep dew drops from a dew drop morning. It’s where the sun sets. It’s the wind in your face at the beach looking out over the water. A notebook is where you’re playing with your dog. It’s where you have dreams about walking on rainbows. It’s where the good feelings and the bad feelings spend the night.

- All takes place in the context of a writer’s workshop classroom.

- Computer types, newspaper clipping, photos, heart map
- They have been called many things, but it is the principal behind them that unifies them.
- Reread and sift out the most valuable pieces, bits that spark your own original writing. Ask yourself: What seems interesting/intriguing? What stuff do I care about? What ideas keep tugging at me? What seems bold and original? Reread. Look for seeds. Look for sparks.
- Read the room right now. Write a quick entry about what you’re noticing, how you feel about being back at school today, an overheard conversation or anything else you wish to record about what’s happening in here this morning. You will not have to share this entry with anyone! This is the type of “Idea Notebook” entry you’ll want your kids to write.
- Think of a meaningful place. It could be anything from the kitchen table in the home where you grew up to your favorite beach in Florida. List small moments related to that place. Write about one of those small moments in your writer’s notebook.
- Study the photograph. Think about: Who or what is pictured? Where was the picture taken? When was the picture taken? Why did you choose this photo to bring in today? Write about the small moment related to the photograph.
- Think about a person who is important to you (living or deceased). List as many small moments as you can about that person. Write about one of those small moments with him/her.
- Examine the object closely. When did you get it? Where did you buy or acquire it from? Who gave it to you? Why is it important? List everything! Write a small moment entry related to this object.
