HOW TO USE:

1. Choose a sign for your center.

2. Choose whether you want to display the monthly pockets or the types of writing pockets.

3. Print the cover page for student notebooks. Directions included.

4. Print either the monthly pocket or the monthly cover page and tab for student notebooks. If using color paper, print the tab the same color. I’ve included directions and suggestions.

5. Print the task cards for the month. Since there are 24, you will have plenty for the month! You can print them in black and white and on color paper to save on ink. I like card stock for the centers.

6. Decide if you want to assign a prompt or have students choose.

7. Once you assign a prompt, have the student write the prompt at the top of the page. OR Optional: Resize the task cards if you want more room and have students paste them at the top of the page. Directions are included.

8. Hand out a graphic organizer. I’ve included a paragraph graphic organizer and an essay graphic organizer. I also have a packet of free graphic organizers in my store. Paste the organizer on one side and write on the other. To save space, you can tape the graphic organizer over the writing when completed.
