Whole Class Writing Journals

I love using whole class writing journals in my classroom to encourage shared writing! My students love getting to read what their peers wrote in the journal before they add in their own writing. When the journals are completed, I set them aside for Open House. Parents LOVE reading these and finding the writing that their own child has written. I recently received an idea from a teacher friend who said to keep the journals in the classroom library when they are finished. This way, future classes can read what each of my students have written. Seriously a brilliant idea! I will be starting this at the end of this school year.
