Let’s talk about intentionally setting up writer’s notebooks so it will work for you and your students.
Choosing the ‘right’ notebook
The seven key considerations will get you thinking about all aspects of the notebook - from portability to structure, ensuring your students' writing space is both productive and inviting.

To Decorate or Not to Decorate
This is a personal decision, not only for the teacher, but also for the students. Personalization encourages ownership, allowing students to make their notebooks special. From simple touches to wild imaginations, find inspiration and essential supplies for decorating.
Notebook Expectations
Laying the foundation for how, when, and why writer’s notebooks are used will create the path for successful notebook use. Involving students in creating the expectations will develop motivation and ownership in the process.
Notebook Organization
Organization should be simple - from labeling sections, numbering pages, and creating a table of contents. Discover a two-section approach that works from both ends of the notebook to meet in the middle. And give students the freedom to choose their preferred organizational strategies.
Make Time to Write
Despite the demands on our time, regular opportunities for students to write will build a valuable collection of work and endurance.
Remember that setting up a writer's notebook is a personal journey tailored to you and your students.
