The
 Interactive
 Student
 Notebook
 

 
What
 is
 it?
 
The
 Interactive
 Student
 Notebook
 is
 more
 than
 just
 a
 place
 where
 you
 write
 occasional
 
notes,
 stuff
 handouts
 and
 look
 to
 just
 before
 a
 test.
 The
 Interactive
 Student
 Notebook
 will
 
be
 used
 daily
 to
 help
 you
 learn
 and
 remember
 important
 Social
 Studies
 concepts.
 The
 
purpose
 of
 this
 interactive
 notebook
 is
 to
 enable
 you
 to
 be
 a
 creative,
 independent
 thinker
 
and
 writer.
 Interactive
 notebooks
 will
 be
 used
 for
 class
 notes,
 handouts,
 and
 for
 other
 
activities
 where
 you
 will
 be
 asked
 to
 express
 your
 own
 ideas
 and
 process
 the
 information
 
presented
 in
 this
 class.
 
 

 
Why
 do
 they
 work?
 
This
 notebook
 style
 uses
 both
 the
 right
 and
 left-­‐brain
 hemispheres
 to
 help
 you
 sort,
 
categorize
 and
 remember
 and
 creatively
 interact
 with
 the
 new
 knowledge
 you're
 gaining.
 
The
 more
 you
 process
 information
 the
 more
 you
 begin
 to
 understand
 it.
 This
 leads
 to
 longer
 
retention.
 
 

 
How
 will
 it
 be
 organized?
 
Your
 notebook
 will
 be
 organized
 into
 a
 left
 side
 and
 a
 right
 side.
 

 
Input
 goes
 on
 the
 right
 side!
 
Input
 is
 all
 the
 information
 that
 you’re
 supposed
 to
 learn.
 
 It
 is
 testable
 material.
 
 The
 right
 
side
 of
 the
 notebook
 will
 be
 used...
