Title: Name Tents


1
Name Tents
  • Create a name tent for yourself. On one side,
    put your first name. On the other side, put your
    Hip Hop name. Directions are on the orange
    paper on your table. Please do not write on
    these papers, I will be happy to provide you with
    an e-copy! ?

Interactive Science Notebooks
  • Presented by Doni Cash
  • Region 10 ESC
  • Doni.Cash_at_Region10.org

3
Norms
  • Take care of yourself.
  • Monitor your technology for learning.
  • Participate actively!
  • What is said here, stays here. What is learned
    here, leaves here.
  • It is okay to have FUN!

4
Moon Phase Buddies
  • Trim your Phases of the Moon diagram and glue
    inside the front cover of your journal. Now go
    around the room and introduce yourself to 8
    people, and ask them to be your buddy on that
    phase of the moon. This is just like clock
    buddies, only with phases of the moon. Questions?

5
Key Ideas
  • Interactive journaling will make a difference!
  • Students are actively engaged in thinking and
    communicating.
  • Students feel ownership because they are
    creating meaningful knowledge for themselves.
  • Theres no right or wrong way.
  • Modify to find ways that work best for you and
    your students.

6
Why Interactive Student Notebooks (ISN) engage
students?
  • Students use both their visual and linguistic
    intelligences
  • Note taking becomes an active process
  • Notebooks help students to systematically
    organize as they learn
  • Notebooks become a portfolio on individual
    learning

7
Today you will create an ISN to record
information during the training. Later you can
use it as visual model to help your students get
started.
8
The first page you create is a title page (like
a book). You decide the title for your ISN.
9
Reserve 2 or more pages after the title page for
a Table of Contents (like a book)
  • Make columns for
  • Date
  • Entry
  • Page

This helps you find an entry fast when you need it
10
For young students it may be helpful to Xerox and
glue in grid pages for the Table of Contents.
11
For little kiddoes consider . . .
  • Creating a class journal to model the process of
    journaling using a Big Book or a chart tablet.
  • Students contribute by finding pictures and
    telling you what to record.
  • Blank big books are available at www.abcstuff.com
    for 1.39 each

12
Left Hand assignment
  • Turn to your Table of Contents (TOC), and record
    your first assignment as ISN Graphic Organizer.
    Make sure you record the date, title, and correct
    page number!
  • Create a graphic organizer to record the
    advantages and disadvantages to using a
    composition notebook for you ISN. At the bottom
    of the page, jot down some ideas you are already
    wanting to remember for when you implement this
    (4 pages for TOC, numbering system, etc.)

13
Do we have to use special notebooks for our
ISNs?
  • Again, there is no right or wrong way to do
    this!
  • With your new moon buddy, discuss the advantages
    and disadvantages of using composition books.

14
Why composition books work well
  • They are different from spirals (kids perceive
    spirals as ordinary).
  • The paper is sturdy and kids are less likely to
    rip out pages.
  • No wires to get tangled when you stack them.
  • Wal-mart/Target-50 (school supply season)
  • Dollar storesas many as 10 for 1.

15
How are ISNs different from other journals?
  • ISNs have a left-side, right-side orientation
    to help students record, organize, and process
    new information. This takes advantage of the way
    each hemisphere of the brain works! Much of the
    classroom and homework can be done in the
    interactive notebook.
  • ISNs are not used just as a storehouse of
    information. The students are expected to
    continually reflect and show evidence of this
    reflection through left hand assignments.

16
What kind of information goes on each side?
  • OUTPUT
  • Brainstorming   Mind maps   Concept
    Maps   Venn Diagrams   Pictures   Drawings   D
    iagrams   Writing Prompts   Flow Charts   Lab
    Self
  • Reflections   Poems   Songs   Worksheets
  • INPUT
  • Class notes
  • Discussion notes
  • Reading notes
  • Handouts with new information

What does this look like in class? Lets take
some notes!
  • Turn to your Table of Contents. Record your next
    assignment as Layers of the Earth. Fill in the
    appropriate page number.
  • Glue the Layers of the Earth notes on the right
    hand page. As we discuss, you may highlight or
    underline important information

22
And create a foldable!
  • Create the Layers of the Earth foldable and glue
    on the left side page. Color as you see
    appropriate. Take a few minutes to review the
    notes on the right and make some connections.
    Once you finish, go compare your notes with those
    of your waning gibbous buddy. Make any
    adjustments you feel
  • necessary.

23
What if I wanted to use a video?
  • Turn to your Table of Contents. Record your
    next assignment as Friction notes (Some may want
    to skip a line so that they can put the left hand
    assignment in first!). Fill in the appropriate
    page number.
  • Glue the Friction notes on the left hand page.
    As you watch the video, fill in the blanks.

25
What about labs?
  • Turn to your TOC and record Puff Cup Lab as your
    next left hand assignment. Fill in the
    appropriate page number.
  • Find your full moon buddy. Join with another
    group and complete the Puff Cup Lab. Record your
    data on the left hand side of your ISN.

26
Answer the following questions below your data.
  • Which surface had the longest average?
  • Why do you think this was the result?

27
How do we take advantage of our ISNs while
reading?
  • Turn to your Table of Contents. Record your next
    assignment as Greenhouse Effect reading. This
    will be a left hand and a right hand assignment.
    Fill in the appropriate page numbers.

28
  • Read the pages over Greenhouse Effect,
    highlighting, underlining, or making notes to
    yourself as you go along. Once you have
    finished, trim all of the pages so that they are
    the same size. Tape all of the pages together,
    then glue onto the right hand side.
  • On the left hand side, practice the kinds of
    interactions you would want your students
    practicing after they read. Find your waxing
    crescent buddy and share what your thoughts and
    reflections were.

29
What about vocabulary?
  • ISNs are a great place to do vocabulary work.
  • We are going to do two different examples of
    vocabulary activities. Any activity you
    currently use can be incorporated!

30
Ecology Vocabulary
  • Turn to your TOC. Record your next assignment as
    Ecology Vocabulary Match. This will be a right
    hand assignment. Fill in the appropriate page
    number.
  • Once you complete the matching activity, tape a
    ziploc bag to the left hand side and record Vocab
    Cards in your TOC.

31
  • On one side of the index card, write the
    vocabulary word. On the other side of the card,
    draw pictures and/or write short statements that
    show your understanding of the word.
  • When you finish your cards, find your full moon
    buddy and share your vocabulary cards. Make any
    additions that you want to make.

32
Vocabulary Web
  • After you have discussed your cards with your
    buddy, complete a vocabulary web with the same
    words as your next left hand assignment. Make
    sure to record Ecology Vocabulary Web and the
    correct page number in your TOC.

Assessment Ideas . . .
  • Use a holistic approach.
  • Add positive comments,
  • use stickers post-it notes.
  • Insure accountability by allowing students use
    journals on quizzes and some tests.
  • Use peer evaluations.
  • Develop a rubric to define
  • standards of detail or
  • thoroughness.

41
Elementary Rubric
42
Secondary Rubric
43
Lets practice assessment!
  • Using one of the three sample rubrics, assess
    your first quarter buddys journal. Use post its
    to make any notes you would like. Remember that
    you want to use this opportunity to practice what
    you will do with student work!

44
Why would teachers not use journals?
  • Find your waxing crescent buddy, then take in
    another pair. In your group, brainstorm all of
    the reasons why teachers would choose not to use
    journals. We want to share ALL of the reasons so
    that we can cure them today!

45
Key Ideas
  • Journaling will make a difference!
  • Students are actively engaged in thinking and
    communicating.
  • Students feel ownership because they are
    creating meaningful knowledge for themselves.
  • Theres no right or wrong way.

    your students.

46
Final Reflection
  • Think about what you observed.
  • What were the steps in the
  • process?
  • What does this have to do with
  • Science?
  • After talking today, Im thinking.
  • or
  • A new thought I have is ...
