Interactive Student Notebooks “ISN”
What is the ISN? ❀Notebook for grammar and videos ❀A creative outlet ❀An alternate portfolio ❀A place to keep organized notes
Setting up your ISN ❀ Decorate the cover (this should be about Spanish class) ❀ Number pages (front and back) beginning at 1 (in the upper outside corner) ❀ Decorate and label your title page (this should be all about YOU) ❀ Glue in the necessary pages (see handout) ❀ Format your Table of Contents (TOC)
Right Hand ❀ Always odd pages ❀ For notes (Cornell style unless told otherwise). Notes that are more than a page should be glued to the bottom of the current sheet (see class example) ❀ Also for worksheets, tests, handouts, and quizzes, classwork, and homework. ❀ Use highlighters and graphic organizers to make notes meaningful.
Right Hand Examples
Left Hand ❀ Used to synthesize information and notes. ❀ Always even pages ❀ Can use any the following activities: Thinking Maps Foldables Original Drawings Reflections Postcards Cartoons Sentences or Paragraphs (in Spanish) Posters/Comic Strips Advertisements Poems “What if? ” Statements HOT questions w/answers
Left Hand Examples
Things to Remember ❀ For every page of notes, there should be a heft-hand assignment. ❀ DO NOT use the back of a page for notes. Continue on a separate sheet. ❀ Use varied assignments on the left-hand side. ❀ Glue in sheets at the beginning of class instead of waiting until the next day (or later).
Things to Remember ❀ It’s okay to draw on your notes. ❀ Complete all left-hand assignments after writing summary of Cornell Notes. ❀ Don’t wait until last minute to create left-side assignments.
