Interactive Student Notebooks
The Interactive Notebook uses a right side and left side to help you organize your learning. The right page includes traditional class assignments: notes, worksheets, etc. The left side is a place for you to process that information.
Implementation- The “notebook” is your binder. Bring it to class every day. It will not be in your best interest to lose it.
- Number the pages sequentially. Do not remove any pages throughout the semester. Both right and left pages should be numbered. It is important that all of us have the same information on the same page.
- The first pages are reserved for a table of contents, and instructions. Other information will be included as appendices.
- Use color and highlighters to help organize your information.
- Handouts, foldables and other papers should be glued or taped in place, or 3 hole punched. No staples.
- You will need other supplies: markers, glue stick, tape, ruler, pencils, colored pencils
- Notebooks will be graded every other week, approximately, so don’t fall behind.
- To keep up to date on all of the material that should be in the Table of Contents check Mr. K's blog.
Grading will be done using this simple rubric.
Missed Work/AbsentI have a file crate that I keep next to the door. In the crate are hanging folders with each weeks dates on it.
- In the corresponding week I put file folders with the work
students have done for each day, labeled with the exact name in my
gradebook, page number of notebook and the date.
- Inside
each file folder I have two things stapled inside; a master copy, and a
key if it is notes I have given in class, or the reading the
assignment is based on, blank copies are kept in the middle.
Students are responsible for grabbing work for themselves when they
come in the next day. As I finish the following chapter I take those pages out for the chapter 2 back. (Example: Chapter 3 is pulled when Chapter 5 begins)
