I teach LA/Lit to 8th graders who journal write almost everyday. Many have aspirations to become a famous author one day. To think, their doodles could be a part of that too! Throw my post into the pile for today's contest!

I teach a literature/reading workshop for teachers next week and one topic deals with evolving forms/morphing formats. This is such an outstanding example, and I'll alert everyone to watch for it when it comes out, (and this great blog site, as well!)<br />I'd love to win! I often use "Doodler Doodling", illustrated by Paul O. Zelinski, and having both books to use as examples of "real kid" representations would be so helpful. There are plenty of great graphic novels to choose from, but something as original and creative as this is a terrific quality literature.<br />Please enter me in the contest. I'll keep fingers crossed... even if it makes typing harder!<br /><br />sbrehlhce@yahoo.com<br /><br />Sandy BrehlSandy Brehlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-48716964463192240922010-08-03T14:11:38.692-05:002010-08-03T14:11:38.692-05:00Why I should be the winner?

I named him Doodlebug, never dreaming he'd adopt it as his own, along with Doodle, or Bug. Somehow, it fits as he's an original individual with his own sense of how things should be done, what he likes/dislikes, what he'll wear, and how he describes anything. He decided one day that he could read. He picked up a book and read the whole thing and hasn't stopped reading since. All of that from a child with ADHD. He'd love DOODLEBUG!BJ Schneiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05715867132329203427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-18372179210258812432010-08-03T07:08:03.408-05:002010-08-03T07:08:03.408-05:00What an awesome way to help those who would like t...What an awesome way to help those who would like to write feel like they can.

I wish I could give all of you a book. I'm also very encouraged to hear the positive response about doodling. You know, researchers have found that people who are allowed to or encouraged to doodle learn more than the rest. I truly think it gives you access to a part of your brain -- and freedom to use it -- that is kept busy otherwise when you're not allowed to doodle. The parents and grandparents of doodlers warmed my heart! Thank you also to the teachers and librarians who want to put my book into children's hands. I hope that Doodlebug helps everyone respect an individual's right to learn her own best way. <br /><br />As for the fellow writers out there, doodling my book this way helped me see the bones of my novel in a new way. Doodlebug came out of a time when I was feeling very low about the "straight" writing I was doing. Now it has led to new kinds of novel and nonfiction writing. So I want to encourage you to stick you neck out! <br /><br />Thanks again, Carmela, for giving me this opportunity. <br /><br />KarenKaren Romano Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17247467378375997627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-58320220622540886212010-08-02T15:52:57.506-05:002010-08-02T15:52:57.506-05:00We'd love this book!

In college, I studied architecture and city planning and kept a sketchbook/journal with me everywhere I would go. I would use doodle-writing (didn't have a name for it before) to draw what I would see and write what I felt about it at the same time. I would love to share this book with my children to show them a different way to write in their journals that embraces the emotions of their writing with more than adjectives and adverbs.
