I find that these types of creative assignments are much more likely to get completed at home as opposed to a worksheet. I move around the room to help students and allow them to finish the pages at home if they can't complete them in class. This allows them to truly interact with the content and demonstrate their understanding of what we're covering. Then, students use either a reading I provide, their textbooks, online sources, or content in their notebooks we have already covered to complete the pages. I help students get started by assisting them with the directions (which I also print at the top of each interactive notebook page I assign them) and showing them an example either through a picture (like those you see here) or an actual notebook I have done. We will cover the key concepts of a topic through a PowerPoint, station activity, or reading and then students must organize their own ideas into a foldable interactive notebook page. I like to have students work on them individually to really make them interactive. This is a great way to introduce students to interactive notebooks and can continue to be used for students that need more support. Some teachers like to use them as guided notes with their PowerPoints. Students cut and paste the pages into their journals and as you progress through the content in the presentation, students copy the notes into these elaborate foldables. There's also lots of different ways they can be used based on your teaching style and your students' needs/ability levels. Interactive Notebooks and journals are an amazing tool to help students engage with your history content and make better connections with the material. Now, they have grown to become a staple of many teachers' middle and high school classrooms. History Alive was one of the early leaders in promoting the use of Interactive Notebooks in social studies classes. If you follow me on Facebook, Instagram or my TpT Store, you already.Among my favorite activities to do in all of my social studies classes are interactive notebook pages! I have used them successfully for years in Civics, World, and US History (you can download some free pages using the green download button to the right). They are highly engaging with students and if managed correctly, can be a game changer in your classroom.
