Have you ever heard yourself say… I can’t find my… notes, homework, old quizzes! I can’t remember what we did in class yesterday! • I’m sure it is in… • My locker • My book bag • My room I was absent last week. Did I miss anything?
Get it together with your… AVID Interactive Notebook
What is an Interactive Notebook? • A place where all of your work will be kept • Notes • Class work (most of it) • A record of what you’ve learned this year • Your own personalized textbook! • A part of your AVID grade!!!
Why Do We Use an Interactive Notebook? • Uses both the right and left hemispheres of the brain • Sort, categorize and remember information • Creatively interact with new knowledge • The MORE you process, the MORE you understand and the LONGER you retain the information • What you’ve learned over the course of the year, all in one place!
Two Composition Books • Tape the two composition books together • “Focus Notes” on Top • “100-sheet Composition Book” on the Bottom Focus-Notes (Note-taking) Composition Book 100-sheet Composition Book
Setting Up the AVID INB • Number each RIGHT-HAND page • 1,3,5,7,9… and so on Focus-Notes • The last right-hand page should be #159 100-Sheet Composition Book • Begin numbering with the number 1 • The last right-hand page should be #199 • Tape composition books together
Expectations • You bring the AVID Interactive Notebook (INB) with you to class each and everyday • YOU are responsible for your INB • You review your INB nightly and complete any incomplete work and homework
Maintaining the AVID INB • No ripped out pages or torn corners • No doodling that doesn’t relate to the work • New day = New DATE at top of pg. • Incomplete work AND homework completed DAILY • Tab important assignments/notes using post-its
Left vs. Right Right-Side Activities • Input, teacher directed • Assignments • All right hand pages need a complete heading • including date and title/topic Left-Side Activities • Output, student directed • Shows your understanding • Interactions w/ info • Reflects how you learn • Use color; color helps you REMEMBER
