Interactive Notebooks
I am so excited to be starting another school year at HMMS. In Civics this year, I am hopeful that you will learn a lot. To best be prepared for class everyday make sure you are bringing the following materials with you: spiral notebook, binder, a pencil, and your highlighters. Please understand that we work on an Interactive Notebook in class; therefore, it is extremely important to have all these supplies each and everyday! If you have any questions please let me know. There is no homework in my class other than purchasing the notebook, pencils, and highlighters the first week. The only time you will have homework is if you do not finish work in class, or are absent and need to make up work. Work MUST be made up in a timely fashion in order to make the connections. Each lesson will be posted on my website and the teacher interactive notebook will be available during intervention or in after school tutoring. In my website you will always find the items that you need: date of lesson, description of lesson, Essential Question (EQ) of the day, Hook (video to introduce the topic), and examples of your left and right sides of your work. The only items not available online are Bellworks. Bellworks is a daily assessment that is read, UNREALed, and answered in class.
Interactive Notebook Helpful Items:
Right side: Cornell notes, Reading, or Teacher given items.
Left Side: Students will display understanding of the information on the Right on the Left side by interacting with the information.
