[LIT] Living Books

[Steve Climie]

Hi,

I first came across the term Living Books in a book I read last year.  
It was called Writing Through the Tween Years: Supporting Writers,  
Grades 3-6, by Bruce Morgan with Deb Odom. They are both  
from...Colorado.

It is published by Stenhouse.

I don't have the book handy, but as I recall, the Living Books were  
not to be graded. They were places for the kids to explore different  
kinds of writing. It was a place for kids to come back to repeatedly  
for ideas to inspire further, more developed writing. It was a  
storage place for getting thoughts, impressions, and ideas on paper.
