What are InteractiveStudent Notebooks?
• A student thinking tool
• And organizer for inquiry questions and what I learned…
• A way to access and process the learning utilizing various modalities (writing, drawing, and discussion)
• A place for writing reflections based on hands-on learning
• A formative assessment tool for teachers
• This style of notebook uses both the right and left-brain
hemispheres to help sort, categorize and be creative with
the newly attained knowledge.
• The right side of the notebook is for writing down
information given by the teacher (Cornell notes,
vocabulary, video notes, performance tasks, etc.).
• The left side of the notebook shows the understanding of
the information from the right side (brainstorming,
computation, reflections, drawings/figures, etc.).
