  2. Introduction-Why Notebooks? • Notebooking use has grown: • Science notebooks of K-12 teachers, professional developers and university faculty. • Note booking is regarded as an important educational tool. • Notebooking helps students: • Develop, practice and refine content understanding. • Students practice metacogntion. • students can review initial understanding and how they have improved their knowledge. • Enhances reading, writing and communications. • oral sharing in pairs, small groups to the class. • Improves organization. • Students keep materials together in an organized manner.

  5. Notebooks and Assessment • Notebooks can by used to assess student understanding and provide feedback. • Notebooks are a valuable tool to both students and teachers to evaluate: • prior knowledge and existing ideas • how conceptual understanding is being built • procedural understanding • mastery of curriculum goals • the ability to apply/transfer ideas to new context. • Rubrics • Tools teachers may use in assessing note books. • Can vary and depend on the teachers goals and purpose for note books.

  6. Additional Notebooking Info. • Notebooking requires a “tool box”: • A container filled materials to insert materials, highlight pertinent information, create tables, etc. • The material could also be located in the classroom in a central area. • May contain: • Tape, scissors, glue sticks, high lighters, rulers, markers, crayons, colored pencils, etc.

  8. 1 Inside the notebook • Number ALL pages in the top corners • Front (right) = odds • Rear (left) = evens • We will all have the same thing on the same page • Inside front cover and inside rear cover don’t have page #s • Please number pages 1-10 now • If you need to use more than one page for an activity, then add letters. For example, p. 10a and p.10b can be one activity

  9. Appendices • Take the last three pages title them with roman numerals (I, II, III) • Appendix I-Contact information i.e. names, email addresses, etc. • Appendix II-Grant information. • Appendix III-Glossary to list key terms and meanings.
