Below you can find a unit I created with some colleagues on how we would introduce writer’s notebooks in a fifth grade classroom! It includes a rationale for using writer’s notebooks that is supported by provided references. The unit includes 2 lessons finding personal topics, 2 lessons for focusing in on topics and creating drafts, and 2 lessons for revising drafts! This is a great resource for teachers that are wanting to use writer’s notebooks in their classroom but need some inspiration before starting!
