Interactive Student Notebook Guidelines

What is the purpose of the Interactive Notebook?

· The purpose is to help you be a creative, independent thinker.
· Your notebook will be used for taking notes on your daily assignments, and sometimes on the activities we do in class. You will express your ideas and apply what you have learned.

What materials do I need?

What goes in my notebooks? -----

· Everything we do in class. It will contain your class notes, foldables,bellwork, written assignments, maps, diagrams, and artwork.

How will my notebook be graded? -----

o Is your notebook complete? Have you finished all the assignments?

o What is the quality of your work?

o Is your notebook well organized?

o Is your notebook NEAT and attractive? Have you included drawings? -----

I will check the notebooks from time to time—usually every 3 or 4 weeks.

· All class notes and notebook assignments must be included, even for days you were absent.

What happens if I am absent?

· If you are absent, it is your responsibility to get the notebook assignments from a classmate or from the teacher. Please share this handout with your parent or guardian. When both of you have read this information, please sign your names below.
