1. Interactive Notebook Set-up
An Introduction

2. First Things First! Number your pages
Start by numbering the pages in your interactive notebook. Number the outer, upper corner of every page, so if you were to flip through the pages quickly with your thumb you would see every page number. Refer to the picture below.

4. Second… The Cover Label the front cover
With permanent markers, students write your
first and last names,
class name,
class period,
year, and
grade on the cover.

5. Third… The Sides
Also, with the permanent markers, write your first and last names along each side of the composition book. This will help you find your interactive notebooks much faster at the start of class.

6. Fourth… Table of Contents
Next you are ready to create the table of contents.
Use the front and back of the first five sheets (pages 1-10).
You should make three columns:
a column for the date,
title, and
page number of each entry. 

8. Fifth… Glossaries
To label the glossary, find the last 7 pages of your notebook. Next, you will label two letters per page. Label the top of each page “Glossary.” Then divide the page into two even boxes. Write one letter in the corner of each box.

9. YOUR DONE!
Yeah! Congratulations your notebook is ready for class!!
