Maybe it is motivation for them not to lose their notebook? (I don't know about other schools but my students always seem to loose their books.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389756682247585488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-89615989724065904482015-08-05T23:59:20.884-05:002015-08-05T23:59:20.884-05:00Hi Emily!

It shows the pocket but here's a short explanation: turn the second to last page of the notebook and bend the corner to the crease. Run glue along the bottom then close it again the last page and seal the bottom shut.<br /><br />I did notebook checks about once a year. Here is a link to one so you can see what I did: https://app.box.com/s/nnytle1aqij6q4opjy5dek8azl3lte3d<br /><br />I am not messing with liquid glue because even for high school students it will be too messy and take up too much time. We use almost all tape.<br /><br />I let them use their notebooks on tests so I guess that was enough motication for them to keep up with them. I didn't really give them the choice. These are your notes, this is what we are doing in class. I walk around while they are cutting and gluing and I display stuff on the board for them to copy/model. It hasn't been a problem for me.<br /><br />Let me know if you have any other questions or things I could blog about!<br />miss.calcul8https://www.blogger.com/profile/02014623484245570719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-42182985921961125802015-08-05T20:13:57.085-05:002015-08-05T20:13:57.085-05:00Hi Elissa!

I'm switching from sixth grade to high school (geometry and algebra 1) this year and could use some help modifying how I do notebooks. <br />I use to "grade" their notebooks every week or unit because if I didn't they wouldn't keep up with it and finding old notes would be a nightmare. We're your students self-motivated enough to keep up with their notebooks without it counting for a grade?<br />Also, how did you have them make pockets? I've seen a few ways to do it on Pinterest but am not sure which way I want to do it.<br />I too had issues with glue stick glue drying out and pieces falling out of their notebooks; I was constantly finding foldables on the floor and having no idea who they belonged to. I had a few students actually bring tape to use instead. Have you given liquid glue a try?<br /><br />Emily<br />@ebrown0789<br />madnessinmathclass.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497644157629861503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-68925264459124982972015-08-04T22:14:32.907-05:002015-08-04T22:14:32.907-05:00No, they really didn't keep them.

Lol<br /><br />I did checks four times throughout the year basically checking for correct page numbers, ToC filled out, no empty pages, shake it and nothing falls out, and titles and dates. These were the notes we took and they could use them on their tests in all classes so I didn't have many problems with them keeping it up. I just walked around the room and made sure everyone was on task.<br /><br />I could never think of a way to have them make their own pages that would be valuable and I'm a control freak so I made everything.<br />miss.calcul8https://www.blogger.com/profile/02014623484245570719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467202639598238063.post-24167882563182193382015-08-04T22:07:05.745-05:002015-08-04T22:07:05.745-05:00Thanks for sharing all the reasons you love INB...Thanks for sharing all the reasons you love INB's and the truth that no one kept them. Cretons. Really. But I betcha they did. <br /><br />My students ended up borrowing each others the day before they were being checked, not keeping up with them. That is one thing I hated. Did you grade them? I did, quick check. Maybe I won't this year. Geometry got to use them on tests, not Pre-Calc. I didn't make very many pre-pages, I had them make them. I figure the more THEY do, the more they learn. In community. Amy zimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09960137549431994944noreply@blogger.com
