My Project
In a world of AI and ChatGPT, I want to take back my students' creativity by utilizing interactive notebooks for novel notes and incorporating art into my lessons by having students create visual representations of settings, characters and plots as they read. With the art and notebook supplies, my students will be able to appreciate the art of notetaking more.
Visual thinking skills are an effective way for students to retain and learn higher level information and material.
It provides them another option to take notes to make them successful across content areas. Once they learn the interactive notetaking skills in my class, they can apply it to their other content areas as well. A lot of my students like to doodle while they are listening to directions, decompress if they are having a rough day or need a break from the stresses of their days so I would like to use the mindfulness coloring books as needed for the students to create a more relaxed environment for them as well.
Lastly, every year, I attempt to make every piece of my classroom a learning tool for my students. Unfortunately, nothing sticks with tape to the concrete block walls. I can use the contact paper and the chalkboard paper around the room to write on for visuals I want the students to remember throughout the year.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
