Block in the text, make a line separating this information from other notes
Underline key concepts and circle words you need to know
Next, draw an arrow to the other side of the notebook and box in
Paraphrase your notes and create your graphics

17. Paraphrasing (Optional)
Paraphrasing takes a lot of modeling and is not learned easily.
Students rewrite teacher supplied notes in their words. This gives them ownership and makes them think about their notes.

18. Graphics/ Student Notes
Students draw pictures of their notes, create charts, diagrams, cartoons-- whatever they want.
Teacher must be able to identify what is being explained.
This allows for various learning styles and allows students to be imaginative and creative--experiment!

19. Do they Understand It?
All information that is tested can be found in their notebooks
If a student misses an item on a quiz, they can locate that info in their notebooks and mark that page-usually with a sticky post it note

20. Studying with Interactive Notebooks

Paraphrasing helps them to process the information.
Studying the graphics help students to create pictures in their minds. This is a fundamental difference between good and poor readers.

21. How is the Notebook graded?
Explain rubric to students
Notebooks are collected the day of the final exam
Notebooks may be collected with or without notice, so….
students MUST have their notebook everyday.

22. Remember… Student work is recorded in an interactive notebook
Students are required to bring the notebook EVERY DAY
Notebooks should be well cared for, so they can last throughout the school YEAR
