Interactive notebooks are research proven to help students organize and categorize information in their brains. They work by Teachers providing a routine structure in the notebooks for daily or weekly lessons. Through out the lesson cycle inputs are given through direct instruction, guided note taking, small group activities etc. At the end of the lesson cycle students use these inputs to create outputs about their learning. This may look like lesson summaries, reflections, answering essential question or something else. The notebooks then become an essential tool for study and review. The key to successfully implementing Interactive notebooks is for all students to create the set-up for their notebooks on the same day and in the same way. That is where it becomes vitally important that teacher's have the supplies on hand so that there is not an opportunity for students to opt out or miss out because they don't have the needed supply. By implementing Interactive Notebooks across both grade levels of Social Studies students we are vertically building organization and study skills that improve academic achievement.
