    The document describes an interactive notebook strategy used to promote student organization, engagement, and critical thinking. Interactive notebooks have students process information on the left page through activities like summaries, diagrams, questions, while the right page contains teacher-provided materials like notes, assignments, readings. Numbering pages with odd numbers on the right and even on the left keeps information paired. The process involves students interacting with right page inputs on the left page through strategies like engage-explore-summarize. Portfolios are also described as a tool for students to revisit and reflect on their work, providing evidence of growth over the year through entries like unit reflections, assessments, and a final self-reflection.

    INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK:

    Strategy used to prevent notebooks from being used as a place to write occasional notes, stuff
    handouts, and perhaps refer to before a test when all other options failed. Interactive notebooks
    promote organization, engage students, and encourage students to process information, combine
    words and visuals, become a working portfolio, express creativity, and demonstrate critical thinking.
    Materials
    8.5 / 11 spiral notebook (one that an 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper can fit into without any
    trimming)
    writing instruments (pencil, pen, colored pencils)

    The Process
    Leave several pages at the beginning of the notebook for the table of contents.

    Number the pages --- odd numbers on the right and even numbers on the left. Students
    should never continue a right-side page onto the back but should rather staple, tape, or
    glue on an extra sheet to extend a page.
    Keep a master Table of Contents with dates and points possible. It is imperative that all
    students are on the same page for the same work. This can be referred to as an
    Assignment Log
    If a student is absent, s/he must get the right-side input from the teacher or another student.
    The left side of the notebook is used solely for the purpose of the students individual
    interaction with the information on the right page. This interaction should not be directed
    by the teacher in any way other than a list of recommended options for the various methods
    from which a student may want to choose. While first introducing the concept of an
    interactive notebook, teachers may choose to limit student choices to three or four options.

    Sample student page:


    English sample obtained on-line at:

    http://www.greece.k12.ny.us/instruction/ela/6-12/Reading/Reading
    %20Strategies/interactivenotebook.htm

    These interactions can be done using the Engage Explore Summarize lesson strategy.

    As students become more comfortable with this type of processing, it may be a useful tool
    to help each of them examine and reflect on their metacognitive skills in relation to
    processing information. This reflection may even become a part of their final reflection for
    portfolio assessment.

    PORTFOLIO
    A portfolio may be used as a tool for students to revisit, reflect upon, and revise their work in a
    variety of ways, furthermore, the portfolio will provide for a management system for samples of
    student work which the teacher may be asked to produce throughout the school year by the
    Department of Curriculum and Instruction. The student portfolio is an important tool that is used to
    organize student work in this course. The portfolio will provide direction as you REVISIT student
    work and REFLECT upon what your students have learned throughout the year. The curriculum
    guide will offer suggestions for inclusion in the portfolio that illustrate a wide range of work.
    PURPOSE:
    To give students a specific place to feature their work and a means to share it with others.
    To provide evidence of students mathematical growth over the course of the year.
    To allow students to review the mathematical content and processes they experience in the
    instructional unit and to reflect on the new concepts learned.
    SELECTION AND ORGANIZATION OF PORTFOLIO ENTRIES:
    The Student Portfolio may be maintained in a two-pocket folder, file folder, or three-ring binder and
    may contain:
    An initial Student Reflection Sheet or student autobiography with goals for the year.
    A cover sheet for each instructional unit that includes general student reflections and
    identifies Embedded Assessment Questions in the unit.
    Completed instructional units, arranged in order that the units were completed.
    TAKS Talk documentation forms.
    Assessments scored by the teacher using a rubric to indicate growth.
    Reflections on the instructional units regarding students experience with specific
    mathematical content or processes.
    Periodic diagnostic assessments including benchmark exams, semester finals, etc.
    A year-end reflection on students mathematical growth during the course, both in
    mathematical content and processes.
    Projects and assessments made by the teacher.
