Teachers college writers notebook

Hi all! I need help. This is my first year teaching 3rd grade..I used to teach first and we never needed a writers notebook. I need some examples of what the inside of the notebook looks like. I believe it starts with bullets of seed ideas and then elaboration into a small moment. Can anyone give me an example? Or have samples of students nb that can be scanned and emailed to me..I know it's a lot to ask but I really have no clue. Thanks in advance.

I did this with the second grade writing notebook but believe it can be adapted to second..I had the kids draw a heart and divide it into pieces and in each piece they wrote something in their heart and these became the seeds for their writing...in terms of the outside of the notebook, we had kids bring in pics, stickers, etc. and let them decorate it so that it was special to them...

The heart is the first lesson. Also whatever lesson I did I created a notebook on chart paper and saved the paper and would refer back to it. Other teachers used an actual notebook to show the kids that they were actually writing.

After the heart they choose a person on there and then write small moments that happened with that person.

After that they expand on those small moments. (I think this was like one or two lessons)

I can't think of the lessons after that I will have to look. Basically in the beginning of the year you are launching the writers NB and the kids are filling it with ideas so when they go back there are just tons and tons of ideas from which they can pull from and never run out of topics.

Do you have the units of study books?

I read this book with them "In My Heart", which is a good starting point for the heart.

Yes....I had them draw the heart in the notebook with crayons and then write people and places that mattered the most to them after modeling my own heart map on chart paper. The kids usually love this lesson.

They draw the heart and cut in sections
Things they wonder
Favorite people
Favorite places
Things they fear
etc.
