Interactive Student Notebooks Naomi Oliver 7th Grade Geography and Reading West View Middle School
WHAT IS AN INTERACTIVE STUDENT NOTEBOOK? • Learning tool that helps students to organize, record and process content. • Students learn to use critical-thinking skills, creativity and are often motivated to higher-order thinking. • Students use both sides of the pages in their notebooks.
WHAT IS AN INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK? • This is a good place for “testable” information. • It serves as a portfolio and a record of student progress and learning through the year. • This is a learner-centered approach that engages students in the learning process and gives them some room for choice and creativity.
HOW DO YOU USE AN INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK? • One side (right) is used to record info - INPUT. • On the other side (left) students process or internalize the info while doing a task that uses that material - OUTPUT. • You can assign activities for the left side, or you can provide options.
Points to Consider • Have specific guidelines • Consider the items you need to include • Think ahead about possible situations • How to organize and collect the notebooks
Create Your Own ISN Lesson • Consider one standard and/or topic that you cover. • What is the information that you need to provide for the right side? • What is an example of an activity that could be done on the left side?
