The Interactive Student Notebook Objective: Students will be able to set-up their interactive student notebook.

Do-Now (Glue in Left-Side) Are you a good note maker? Who taught you how to make notes? Did the notes actually help you?

Do-now Write down your homework: SS HW: Design your cover and title page with at least 5 different colors or pictures Get syllabus signed ELA HW: Finish reading procedures packet and complete a full page of “Respect /Responsibility Chart” (10 more examples)

Class Syllabus A syllabus tells you what you will learn all year and general rules, procedures, grading, late work policy, etc. We will read it together as a class now and your homework is to get this sheet signed.

How is our Civics-in-Action-Notebook different from our ELA notebook? It has a special set-up. In your ELA notebook, you just go onto the next page to start a new entry and can take as much or as little space as you want to write information. But your Social Studies notebook (CAN) will be organized in a very specific way.

On the Cover Write your first and last name Civics in Action Notebook Hr. 213 Ms. Samadi

Let’s setup the Interactive Student Notebook A Starting on the FIRST lined page after the cover, letter the pages front and back “A thru H”.“H” should be on the left- hand side – these “lettered” pages will be your administrative pages.

Now, for the rest of the pages.. On the immediate next right side page, write “1” Number the pages front and back thru to 20 1
