=** Multi-Genre Project: ** = =** The Importance of Writer's Notebooks in Elementary Level Writer's Workshop ** =

==== ==== ==== W ith my Multi-Genre Project, I explored the importance of using writer's notebooks within elementary writer's workshop programs. As I researched, I found effective ways to use the writer's notebooks to help students live like writers. I was able to compose a letter to parents, introducing the concept of the notebooks, and was able to develop a couple of mini-lessons to be used along with the writer's notebooks. Because students follow by example, I have created my own writer's notebook and encourage teachers to live like writer's and to keep their own notebook to share with students. I was even able to interview a writer's workshop expert and blogger to get another perspective on how the use writer's notebooks effectively. ====
