Welcome to Just Jan: Reading, Writing and Teaching

Welcome to Just Jan: Reading, Writing and Teaching

This blog is begun as an assignment for a class for my Masters Program. The assignment overview is:


The student will select/design, and maintain his/her own writer’s notebook for the duration of the term. It should contain items that could possibly spark the learner’s own imagination, reflect his/her interests, and/or inform current or future pieces of writing. Some possible items include but are not limited to: first drafts, photos, quotes, articles, writing exercises, brainstorming lists, ideas, outlines etc. Besides being a valuable resource for the teacher as a writer, it should also serve as a model of a writer’s notebook for the student’s future classroom.The student will also write a one-page reflection on how keeping a writer’s notebook does/can inform writing and how this translates to the role of a teacher.

Who knows where this blog will go from here.  Follow me as I find out.
