Each Monday morning, students in my class would write about their weekend in their "Weekend News" notebooks/journals. Students enjoyed sharing news of their weekends as they developed pieces in whichever genre of text they desired. This activity gave students the opportunity to make real-world connections as writers and provided practice in creating pieces in narrative, expository, and opinion writing.
After lunch on Mondays and throughout the week, students had the opportunity to swap notebooks with others and read to share their stories.
