Writers' and Readers' notebooks are essential tools to grow our students' writing and document their thinking and ideas about topics/texts. Learn how to help students become more skilled in keeping useful notebooks and how you can use the notebook as an assessment tool to inform your instruction.

Aimee will also explain how writer’s notebooks can help students improve their nonfiction writing—reports, articles, memoirs, essays, and so forth to help students meet the demands of the Common Core State Standards for informative/explanatory writing. Aimee will share tools to help students with note-taking, grammar, and using mentor text to elevate their informative writing.

A copy of Aimee's new book, Nonfiction Notebooks: Strategies for Informational Writing will be included with your registration.  

Presenter: Aimee Buckner has been in education for more than twenty years. She thrives on the idea that teaching is about helping students develop intellectually, physically, and emotionally. The writer's notebook helps her carve out a place in the curriculum to allow students to truly be themselves and find their own voice. Aimee continues to consult both nationally and internationally as well as speak at state and national conventions. Aimee is a contributor to Choice Literacy and is the author of three books with Stenhouse Publishers: Notebook Know-How: Strategies for the Writer's Notebook, Notebook Connections: Strategies for the Reader's Notebook, and Nonfiction Notebooks: Strategies for Informational Writing.
