 Exploring New Ideas February 4, 2000
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
I came across this book during my student teaching and fell in love with it! Ralph Fletcher writes in a simple style that helps students understand what a writer's notebook is meant to be as well as exploring several different avenues for collecting thoughts and ideas. My students went on to write wonderful stories using their own ideas that they generated in their writer's notebooks.

My 9 year old daughter just loves this book, it has really helped her with her writing, she writes short stories, poems and illustrates them too as well as draws cartoons. Very helpful with helping her get her ideas together as well as coming up with new ideas.
A Book That Should Be In All Classrooms September 8, 2000

This was a wonderful book. After attending a great seminar where Ralph Fletcher spoke, I was curious about his book. I can't even begin to tell you how refeshing and honest his ideas are. He helps to break down some of the stereotypes and fears that students have about writing. While doing this, he opens up the door for all different student writers so that they can feel comfortable with their own ideas. He gives their never ending thoughts a place to live while providing colorful examples that are easy to follow. Fletcher takes the often mundane task of journal writing one step further and provides an innovative tool that will help students begin to flourish as writers and poets in the classroom. This book is a must read for teachers and students. It will leave you wanting to create your own notebook as soon as you are finished reading.

This little gem has genuinely helped me to unlock the writer inside me! It is full of practical advice but most of all it is from the heart. If you are experiencing writer's block or are looking to expand yourself or even have some unresolved issues with yourself, I highly recommend this book!
Great ideas for getting started. April 11, 2001

This is a wonderful book for the young writer, and I wish I'd read it when I was in school. Ralph Fletcher encourages the reader to observe the world around her, document her observations, and use them as a foundation for future written works. He has also incorporated the thoughts and poetry of many young writers, his own, as well as those of other established authors. I think that many adults who've considered writing could also use this book as a starting point.
