Journaling and IAN (Interactive Notebook) Students will use their journal/IAN on a near daily basis. Unless needed for a specific reason, they live here. Some journals are fun, some are thought provoking, but all serve academic purposes. IAN is where we will take notes about the contents we’re working on.
