Should clearly have the Title of the assignment at the top and
the Date to the left of the title. The page should be
numbered in the top right hand corner.
All assignments should be chronologically ordered by the
dates that they were assigned.
All right side assignments should be done on the right side
unless otherwise instructed by Mrs. Gerber.
Each fully completed and correct right side assignment earns
a grade.
Any missing part (date, title, page number, learning target,
other information) will cause points to be deducted.

Maintaining the Interactive
Notebook



No ripped out pages or torn corners
No doodling that does not relate to
class notes
Date, title, and page number for each
page (every student’s ISN must match)
to periodically clean out your
notebook each quarter.
Deductions for lateness and
lack of chronological order


You are expected to have your notebook with
you for each class. Failure to do so will result
in a 10% reduction for that day.
I will perform periodic notebook checks. If
you do not have your notebook on that day
or it is not updated with all assignments then
I will deduct 20%. You may turn it in the
next day. Failure to do so by the 3rd day will
result in a zero for that notebook check.
Each time the notebook is
evaluated it will constitute a test
grade. Notebook checks are
unannounced and can be done at
any time during the school year.
How long should it take to
work on my notebook?



Time is given in class to work on the right side
assignments and activities. You may also be given
time to work on the left side activity.
The expectation is that you will revisit your right side
of the notebook that evening and/or during that
week to complete an activity of your choosing for the
left side, unless otherwise instructed by me.
Once you have a good understanding of the types of
activities that can be utilized for the left side of your
notebook then it should not take you more than 15
minutes to complete on your own at home.
How will this help me?

irrelevant information

Active = Learning
Organized note taking
Permission to be playful and creative
Reminder to absorb ideas
Provides repetition
