In the south we often ask of new acquaintances, "Where are you from?" In my county (Iredell) I've heard it phrased, "Who are your people?" In our Writer's notebooks we will explore our own cultures, our definitions of home, our roots, our place in the world. We may record what we learn directly from children as they respond to literature along with us.
You will have a "starter" for six or seven notebook entries for the term. Please enjoy your writing. We will give up the "oughts"...what a piece ought to be. Hopefully you will "season" your notebook with poems, quotations, your own insights or simply idle thoughts.
The first starter is "Where I'm From" by George Ella Lyon.
