“Language arts and reading teachers need content-area teachers to show students how to read and write like a scientist, historian, or mathematician. All teachers in all subject areas share the responsibility for literacy development. Today, more and more content-area teachers recognize this responsibility and are incorporating content literacy into their teaching through a variety of instructional strategies.”
Richard Vacca, Author of Content Area Reading: Literacy and Learning Across the Curriculum

Today, we will be making Interactive Notebooks (INs) that you will be carrying with you all year for Staff Development.

Interactive Notebooks

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.
• There’s no “right” or “wrong” way.• Modify to find ways that work best for you
and your students.
Interactive Notebooks
![Page 6: Humanities hme nto 12 13](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070315/55563eecd8b42a8d0f8b4733/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• 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
Why Interactive Notebooks Engage Students

The first page you create is a title page (like a book). You decide the title for your IN.
The back of the first page create and Author’s Biography page.
Include:• Name • Birthday• Hobbies
Draw, write, or use photos to describe yourself on this page.

Reserve 5 or more pages after the title page for a Table of Contents (like a book)

Turn to your Table of Contents (TOC), and record your first entry title as IN Representation in the far left column as assignment # 1S. In the right side column record the entry title as IN Notes as assignment # 1T.

• INs 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.
• INs 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.
• On the Right hand page of your journal, fold your paper in half (red line to red line). Create a T-Chart to record the characteristics of left brain and right brain thinkers.

Writing
“Writing helps students get more actively engaged in subject matter, understand information and concepts more deeply, make connections and raise questions more fluently, remember ideas longer, and apply learning in new situations. If we say that reading helps us take in knowledge, with writing, we make it our own.”
Harvey Daniels & Steven Zemelman, Content-Area Writing: Every Teacher’s Guide
![Page 17: Humanities hme nto 12 13](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070315/55563eecd8b42a8d0f8b4733/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Writing Challenges in the Content Areas
• Writing in the content areas is about writing to learn the content or writing to develop thinking.
• It can also be about learning to write the genre of the content.
• Challenges– Limited vocabulary– Lack of organizational strategies– Lack of experience with content writing– Lack of self-regulation or self-monitoring

Word Study• What do we study?
– Word features– Content Words– High frequency words– Student generated word lists
• When do we study?– Daily mini-lesson– Daily 5 Component– Reading/Writing mini-lessons or guided lessons– Content lessons
• Context is everything!• Regarding spelling, remember
– There is no “silver bullet” program that will magically cause our students to spell everything correctly.
– Spelling is a developmental process; it’s okay for kids to have different words.
– We’re teaching how to be a better speller, writer, and reader, not teaching spelling words.
