  2. Why an “interactive” notebook? • Traditional notebooks simple require you to record information that is then expected to be memorized for formal quizzes and tests. You are not expected to necessarily understand what you are copying. • Monkey copying, memorizing, and regurgitating is not real learning! • Your teachers want you to really learn! • In order for you to truly understand and draw meaning from the information that you are writing in your notebook, you must actively do something with it. And that’s where the interactive notebook comes in!
