This week I introduced the use of a draft notebook in our Read/Write Cycle. Children who have been writing complete sentences in their tiny books have earned the privilege of writing their next story in a draft book. Here they are asked to write several sentences on a topic of their choice. Once their writing is complete, they will have adult assistance with editing and proofreading. Then they can choose their publishing option. The choices are computer, typewriter, Alphasmart, iPad or Smartboard. They are very excited about these new options.
