Ways to set it up • Entry • Title & date • Purpose • Materials • Procedure • Results • Conclusion • Notebook • Instructions • Table of contents • Numbered pages • Chronological *Consider a school-wide format?
Interactive format Purpose: focus on today’s activity Examples: pre-test, quick-write, demonstration, T-chart Purpose: information from today’s activity (learning) Examples: textbook or lecture notes, vocabulary, lab procedure & data, worksheet, concept map Purpose: reflect or apply today’s activity Examples: content or lab questions, quick-write, 3-2-1 summary, diagram, graph
Using notebooksSo much to consider . . . • Teacher driven • Student driven • Journal • Portfolio • Individual • Collaborative
And more to consider . . . • Type of notebook • Composition book • Loose-leaf notebook • Lined paper/graph paper • Writing tools • Pencils/pens/highlighters/markers • Stay at school or take home • Feedback
So now what? • Select one of the following questions and respond: • What do I need to get notebooks started in my classroom? • What support do I need to make notebooks in my classroom a success? • What would be a good addition or change in using notebooks in my classroom?
Available Resources • Professional resource books available to borrow from GAMSP:
Additional resources • Children’s literature available at local libraries:
Remember. . . • You may ask GAMSP staff for help with getting notebooksstarted. • You may borrow actual scientists’ notebooks to share with students. • You may choose to include notebooks in your PLC topics.
Now think about your notebook for this workshop . . . • SET UP: How will you set up your notebook for maximum effectiveness? • PLANNING AHEAD: Would you consider leaving space for a table of contents, glossary, tabbed sections • TAKING RISKS: Would you consider trying the Interactive Notebook model?
