Overview: Your Interactive Notebook for Language Arts will be a place for you to record all your notes and to practice and apply the skills taught in class. This notebook will become a portable portfolio of all your efforts during this school year. It will be a tool to help you study and, ultimately, be a reflection of you as a student in my classroom. You should value this notebook and take pride in its appearance and contents.

The Cover (front and back) Task: Decorate your Interactive Notebook cover to reflect who you are as a reader and Language Arts student.
