Through out the semester, we will be creating an interactive notebook using a standard composition notebook. This will be a fun way to learn major concepts with a "hands on" technique.
I will be grading the notebook periodically throughout the semester and it will be important for students to keep their entry assignments up to date. Entries may require labeling a diagram, cutting a pasting diagrams, filling in missing terms, as well summarizing the overall concept of each entry. This notebook will be great tool for students to refer back to for tests as well as for the SATP2 Biology State Test. It will also be great to have something tangible showing all their hard work during the semester. |
Students will be given a "Notebook Quiz" approximately 2 times per 9 weeks but may also spot check periodically for a daily grade just to ensure students are staying on track. Please make sure to stay ahead of notebook entries. These turn out to be wonderful study tools for exams and the state test! At the end of the semester, students will be able to look back and see all their hard work and all that they've learned AND its all in ONE SINGLE LOCATION!!! No having to dig back through a big bulky binder to find notes and old handouts!
Below you will find the titles of the entries for each day and you will also notice they are color coded. They are grouped by the unit of study. This gives you an idea of which areas may have a stronger focus and students will need to spend more time in preparation for the state test.

Entries - I will update them as we add them weekly
