5. Creating A Cover
You will use your notebook to take notes, draw pictures, complete assignments and express yourself on topics dealing with this course. But the cover is so boring!!
It ís up to you to spice it up! Your cover will be a reminder that you are serious about doing your best.

6. Content

The name of your course: 2. The words: Interactive Notebook 3. The class period that you have this course 4. The school year: The Teacher: Mrs. Clenney 6. Your name (at the front right bottom)

7. Visual Content: Information
Use a textbook or utilize the Internet to identify at least two (2) body systems in which you are interested.
Draw or use magazines, or print images from the Internet to illustrate the two systems or areas within the design of your cover. Labeling may help your design.

8. Personal Information
Identify at least two aspects of yourself as a person or as a student and place it on the cover. If you are a skateboarding expert, use the skateboard as a symbol for yourself. If you play the violin, use the violin as a symbol for yourself and include it in your cover design. The symbol can be your favorite thing, a hobby, or something special about you.

9. Cover Assignment
Use your creativity to develop a cover you can be proud of. It can be in mixed media, which means you can use photos, crayons, magazine cut-outs, and construction paper in combination to create a cover that reflects your interests. Or maybe you are a computer graphics artist and want to include your own hand drawings as well. Just be sure you have the required content.
