<p>There are many idea, articles, and books about writer's notebooks, but none are as systematic and creative as A Writer's Notebook of Activites by Jodi Ramos. Working as she does daily with students K-4, many at-risk, Ramos nails down the notebook, making sure each activity is sound, workable, and firmly grounded in research. Talking her cue from Janet Emig's seminal study in 1977, Ramos builds her book on "writing as a mode of learning." Ramos knows that Vygotsky, Luria and Bruner contend that higher cognitive functions--analysis and synthesis-develop through the act of writing. Through A Writer's Notebook of Activities students grow in their skill and love of writing. This is a must book for every teacher K-4</p>

A Writer's Notebook of Activities

<p>Rico explores the many possibilities of how and what shapes the life of writers and how they make sense of it. With her ground-breaking notion of webbing and clustering, she continues with the value of inverse clustering. Each chapter guides the writer through the ways to tap into the deeper more insightful realm of expression. No one can read this book and not be overwhelmed by the honesty, the purity, and the guts it takes to write and shape the experience into the power of story.</p>
