WHAT’S A RESPONSE NOTEBOOK?
• A central location where you will complete all (or most) of your work for class
• Serves as a portfolio• At the end of each
quarter you will evaluate yourself based on your work on the portfolio
• Both you and I will give you a grade on your notebook and we will conference if the grades differ…so be honest!
SO HOW DO I MAKE ONE?• Include a title page and a table of
contents• Date and number each page• Be sure to follow the right side/left side
guidelines
RIGHT SIDE:
• Teacher directed assignments (Assigned notes, homework, worksheets, study guide questions, etc.)
• Page numbers on the right side are always odd
• REMEMBER: The teacher
is always right and odd
LEFT SIDE:
• Student created activities• Students can design the
left side as they choose• Should respond or expand upon right
side work• Page numbers are always even
• Characters• The literary
version of a work to the film
• Material presented by different authors or sources
COMPARE AND CONTRAST…
DON’T FORGET ABOUT:
• Questions about topics/ideas/concepts
• Further practice (grammar, literary terms, spelling)
• Extended notes• Creative writing• Brainstorming
…AND REAL WORLD CONNECTIONS• news articles• music lyrics• TV/movie references• Journaling the
relevance of a subject to you personally
