Interactive Notebooks (A Fun Way To Take Notes)

Access This Westward Expansion Notebook

I first fell in love with interactive notebooks a few years ago when I stumbled across a website.  My first thought was, "My students would love that!"

Interactive notebooks are the superstars of notetaking.  They are hands-on, enable students to draw or create small models of what they are learning, and they make school topics come alive.

What Are Interactive Notebooks?

Interactive notebooks are notebooks that contain colored notes, printable notebook inserts, or 3D images that fit right into notebooks.  In this interactive notebook, students do several interactive activities that teach them about pioneer settlers and daily pioneer life.

Often, the teacher reads information about a topic that is presented in the notebook.  Then, the students are given time to assemble parts using a set of instructions that are often included by the teacher or a notebooking kit.

They can be used in any subject.  Students enjoy the hands-on nature of the their newly created journals.
