2 Keeping Interactive Notebooks: The Left Side The left page demonstrates your understanding of the information from the right side of the page. You work with the input and interact with the information in creative, unique and individual ways. The left side incorporates and reflects how you learn science as well as what you learn in science. The 12 clock questions help focus your attention and guide your learning of the science content and concepts. What goes on the Left Side? Output goes on the left side! Left side items include: Brainstorming Metaphors and analogies Significant statements Discovery headlines Venn diagrams Flowcharts Biography posters Data and graphs you Graphic organizers generate Concept maps Analysis writing Drawings Riddles Writing prompts Your questions Other creative avenues for processing information QUIZZES & TESTS HOMEWORK Things to know about left sides Every left side page gets used. Always use color It helps the brain learn and organize information. Quizzes and tests are left side items. Homework problems are left sides (but they don t take the place of processing you notes!) 11. What more do I want to learn about this topic? 10. Explain the application of this information to a real life situation. 9. Make vocabulary cartoons from this topic. 8. Create a concept map to show the relationships in this topic.. 7. Compare & contrast 2 ideas w ith Venn diagrams. 12. What s my study plan to learn this information? The Clock Questions 6. Write a letter to about this issue. 1. Write a science fiction story. 2. Paraphrase this information into 2 sentences. 3. Create and solve 3 original problems 4. Write four What if... statements about this topic. 5. Create a visual illustration explaining this information. Page 6

3 Keeping Interactive Notebooks: The Right Side Interactive notebooks will be used in this class daily to help you learn and remember important math and science concepts. Why do they work? This notebook style uses both the right and left hemispheres of the brain to help you sort, categorize, remember and reactively interact with the new knowledge you are going. The more you process information the more you begin to understand it. This leads to longer retention. What goes on the right side? Input goes on the right side! Input is all the information that you are supposed to learn. Some examples of input are: thrilling notes lecture, guest speaker, text or other source; vocabulary words; video and film notes; teacher questions; readings: questions and answers; sample problems; and lab information and procedures. Things to know about right sides Always start the page with the date and title at the top of the page. Right sides have odd numbered pages The right page is for writing down information you are given in class. Use 2-column style notes for lecture, discussion, text, etc. Write up your study questions ASAP. Write legibly. Use highlighting and color to make important information stand out. Write summaries at the bottom of each page of notes to reduce the amount you have to study. Sample 2-Column Style Notes Student Problem Show Work Circle Answer 2x +3 = 27 2x = x = 24 x = 12 *Ask in class tomorrow: What is the key difference between rotation and transformation? Rotation (p. 412): A rotation is a TRANSFORMATION in which a figure is turned about a specific point. Transformation (p. 396) Page 7

7 Adult Input Page Extra Credit Once a Week To the Adult this page will allow your son or daughter to better learn. When a person teaches another, both learn, but the teacher often learns much more than the student. 6) The task of your son or daughter is to discuss and teach a concept covered in class to you. 7) You should write down one or two sentences explaining what was LEARNED from discuss and tutoring. Not just that it took place. Without your writing what was learned, full credit for the teaching will not be earned by the student. Date What was LEARNED Adult Signature ONE A WEEK, THAT S ALL THAT S ASKED ADD PAGES AS NEEDED Inside back cover
