Tips for ease of use• Keep the notebooks in one place in class• Maintain a master copy of everything in the
notebook• Model on overhead, model in the field, model
on a poster board • Use post-it notes to assist in finding a page• Have students use a rubric to evaluate• Use a document camera to display examples
of acceptable work• Have students check a partner’s work for
specific items
