I visited my classroom yesterday to see what it looked like after all the summer "cleaning" and just as I expected, it's in total chaos. It's okay though, since I want to change my room a little. My question is for anyone who has "stations" or different writing sections or whatever in their classes.
How do you set it up?
My problem is that I will have at least 35 desks in my classroom. Comfortably, I can fit about 25, if that gives you any idea.
I would like for one whole side of the classroom to be dedicated to writing. Maybe a table set up for all their notebooks. Since we are doing so many different types of writing, I want to organize things for them as much as possible. While I recognize their need to "write for the sake of writing" (ie..their notebooks), I will also have guided work and notes that they will need to refer back to, and therefore, I am having trouble deciding how to organize this. In my perfect world, I think a 4 subject notebook would be awesome. One section for literary, one for expository, and one for notes. The final one can be for final drafts, or drawing or whatever. But, is that really realistic? I cannot require they get these notebooks and I am sure not buying them for them.
What about two notebooks (one for expository, one for literary) and then a folder for notes and final drafts? Is that too much? What do you think?
