Students in my world geography class do not have a textbook that they have access to. Instead, we create our own text, using the strategy called "Interactive Notebooks."
Interactive Notebooks are a spiral notebook (200+ sheet, preferably) that is just for my class. Everything we do in the class goes into this notebook. There are two types of assignments:
Right sides - Your student's notes and guided reading questions will go on this side, called the "in" side. This is where all newly learned information gets inputed to the notebook.
Left sides - Your student's bellwork, classwork, and homework goes on the left side, called the "out" side because that is where the new information gets used, practiced, and output.
Examples of things we'll do can be found here.
Marzano strategies: At CHS this year we are focusing instruction on Marzano's strategies. The interactive notebook falls in line with these strategies very well. Please visit this website for more information.
