No Pages Are Allowed To Be Torn Out:
Pages are not allowed to be torn out. If you mess up, paste a blank sheet of paper over that page and re-do it.
Doodling:
Adding illustrations, borders, or other creative designs is welcome, as long as it doesn’t distract from the words on the page.
The Interactive Notebook:
• Allows you to process information to improve your understanding.
• Helps you learn new ideas by having you use several types of writing and graphics to record them.
Interactivity:
• Every page has a date and a page number.
• Ideas and relationships are highlighted or written in color.
• Activities are included to help understanding.
• Foldables and graphics are used to show relationships.
Why Are We Doing This:
• Writing notes does not mean you have learned the information. You must actively do something with information before you really understand it.
• It gives you permission to be playful and creative with your notes. When you are creative, you remember more.
• We cut and fold because foldables are amazing graphic organizers. They help take big ideas and break them down into manageable parts.
• We tape and glue so things don’t get lost. Your notes aren’t useful if you can’t find them.
We color because it’s a great way to help important information stand out and to process information. Coloring and highlighting notes helps you to recall and find information
