7. Left Side-Right Side: WHICH SIDE?
The notebook is divided into TWO sections.
Left Side-Right Side: WHICH SIDE?
The Left SIDE “LOVES” student work. This is the side that you can use to show me your creativity. This is the “output” or product side.
The Right side is “RESTRICTED” and contains only information given by Mrs. Hernandez. Nothing else should be placed on the RIGHT SIDE!!

8. RIGHT side is “restricted” to TEACHER INPUT
The notebook is divided into TWO sections.
LEFT side “loves”
STUDENT work = OUTPUT
RIGHT side is “restricted” to TEACHER INPUT

9. LEFT SIDE: YOUR SIDE EVEN PAGES = 2,4,6,8,10…YOU GOT IT..
The LEFT SIDE belongs to you.
It contains your creative INTERPRETATION of what you learned in the day’s activity (LIGHTBULB). On this page you may include diagrams, cartoons, drawings, poems, foldables, etc. Let your CREATIVITY go wild!
EVEN PAGES = 2,4,6,8,10…YOU GOT IT..

10. The day’s activity is placed on the LEFT or OUTPUT side of the notebook. This is indicated with a yellow light bulb icon symbolizing that this is how the input makes sense to the student. This section acts as a reinforcement for the RIGHT or INPUT side and is the student’s interpretation of what the WARMUP means to him/her. This side entails hands on, tactile learning

21. What Students Are Saying About INBs
“INB's are easy to do and worth a lot of points, so take time and effort to do them well.“
"Always update your table of contents so papers don't get messed up - or in case of an INB check.“
"An INB is a great tool, keep it organized!“
"You have to spend quality time on your INB.“
"Don't leave your INB until the last day, otherwise you may be up to the early morning hours finishing assignments.“
"Color-code things. It looks so much better that way”
"Keep it in order, because you never know when a notebook check might come up.“
"Do not save your INB until the last minute.  Remember, it counts as much as a test."
