I actually hid it... I sometimes use my notebook (or parts of my notebook) with my students. It isn't super organized, but I definitely use it!

I love your ode and am thinking you should explore writing your own writing book w/ models based on how you use these in your classroom. I have never been very good at keeping a single notebook. I have lots scattered around here and there and have lost lots of writing on computers that subsequently crash. It's a big regret I have: this not having my writing organized in notebooks.

And I LOVE this piece. I hope you don't mind if I steal the idea because now I want to write an ode to my writer's notebook too.Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.com
