Thank you Asbury High School of Albertville, Alabama for sharing your handout and video "Making Great Strides to Bridge the Gap for ELLs." We got great ideas from your handout and especially your video. The above link was provided in the handout as a resource for setting up interactive notebooks.
The purpose of the interactive notebook is to enable students to be creative, independent thinkers and writers. Interactive notebooks are used for class notes as well as other activities where the students will be asked to express their own ideas and process the information presented in class.
ELL Teacher Sheri Swearengin states, "Through notebooking my studets use visual and language skills to record information. Notebooks help students to organize their information systematically as they learn. They also invite students to become actively engaged in their learning through drawing and charts they create and notes in their own words. By processing information in their own way each individual student gains an understanding and makes connections with the text. Finally, these personal creative notebooks becoe a record of my student's growth. Thank you, Decatur, for introducing us to notebooking."
