High School Interactive Notebook Set Up | Back to School Series 

This is the best video I have seen on interactive notebooks (and I am on a binge right now). Thank you. You really broke it down SO well. Much appreciated!

I wish I’d seen this a few years back. It makes soooooo much more sense like this

I am a homeschooling mom who has always loved lapbooks. Seeing my kiddos are now middle school age, this seems to be a great "new way" to keep notes. Thank you for the wonderful ideas.

I'm starting high school teaching and I'm definitely going to be implementing this. It's a much improved version of the guided notes I've been given in Middle Schools

I’m finally taking the plunge this year and am loving it already! Thank you for not just this video but all of yours! I’m excited to revamp my whole curriculum in my 15th year! Thank you again!

I have been wanting to create interactive notebooks for such a long time. I absolutely love what you do. I'm actually a foreign language teacher but I'm going to follow your process as much as possible for a Spanish teacher. Thanks so much for sharing.

I love that you use the Growth Mindset instruction! I teach Honors Geometry use the same survey but don't have them include it in their notebook. So important work at the beginning of the year! Winning!

Great job, I appreciated that you showed and explained each step. I really like the idea of interactive notebooks. School is hard enough at my age but is now a world of difference from back in my day. Thank you.

You've gained a sub! I have been wanting to make my grammar lessons more interactive, and feel less like "lectures". I really want my kids to be excited about the material we cover. I am going to implement this idea. Love it! Keep up the great work!

This video is so helpful! I love the step by step walk through- it really helps make the notebook concepts concrete for a newbie like me!

Thank you so much! Your video is very helpful. I can see how this easily can be adjusted for different disciplines too. Thanks!

Thank you for this. I've tried interactive notebook many times, but I think because I don't have a good step up for organizing that I give up halfway thru. This has been very helpful 🙂

I just finished my 1st year teaching and have decided to try out interactive notebooks for my Civics classes next year, I was skeptical because I know I would have to go hard or go home as far as organization and grading for them go but your video helped me so much and made so many lightbulbs go off in my head, thank you!

New subbie! I've been teaching for 25 years. The last 15 years I've been a world language teacher. Last school year, I was re-assigned from high school to middle school level, and I had to reinvent how I taught. I discovered interactive notebooks, and was hooked. But I didn't know how to start the year off using them, which is what I want to do this year. Your video was the most clear, concise and easy to wrap my head around the what to do and how to do it! As a language teacher, there is a natural connection to how students learn math, which explains why I loved geometry when I was in high school! I am going to binge watch and use your videos to make the transfer from your set to how I would set up my notebook for my language class. Thank you for sharing this, you rock!, and I can't wait to see your next video!

This video is AWESOME! I teach English and I found this to be super inspirational.

This is so helpful..... I am starting my first year of teaching with EBD students and this will definitely help them keep their notes together. It can also be done during my learning strategies class!!!!

Loved this! I am interested to learn how to make the pages that can be folded and glued down.

Still super helpful 4 years after you first posted this video 😃

When I was student teaching, my host teacher had students staple in their notes sheets. That year, we had some special staplers, but it usually works well. With middle kiddos, they need few and simple shapes to be able to cut quickly. I made the mistake of having them cut 3 maple leaves each for a project and it took over 20 minutes.

Going to try it for the first time! Wish me luck!

thank you!

Even though I'm in college majoring nursing. I find this helpful 💫🤘😎

Hi, Brianne! I'm a new subscriber and just found this video. Spectacular INB setup. Thank you for sharing.

I like the TOC page. You could use that with any class. I’m working on certification in History 7-12 and have been interested in ISNs for a while.

I've done INBs for several years now, but I've learned some great new tips from you. I wish I was brave enough to use liquid glue with my seventh-graders!

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH QUEEN

hun can I just say that YOU ARE SO PRETTY💕🥺

I am thinking about using INBs in 7th and 8th grade and this video was beyond helpful!!! Where did you get the growth mindset survey? I want to start to incorporate that into my classroom. Thanks!!

I've gotten a lot of good ideas from this video. Trust me, I've taken notes! What state do you teach in? I teach in Alabama. It's interesting to see different policies. For instance, my district will not let us grade their notebooks. I think it's very important, but hey...what can I say...I'm just a teacher who is in the line of duty every day. LOL

What size is your composition book? It looks larger than the standard size. Great video by the way. I'm about to start my first year and I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel!

Do include warm-ups or QOD's in your notebook? If I did a warm-up everyday would I end up running out of room? Do you also include the worksheets for practice that you do in class?

Can I get a syllabus sample that you demonstrated? I love that idea.

One question I have is regarding Thinking Classrooms. I have started implementing a Thinking Classroom structure in my middle and high school math classes, and students have moved away from writing down notes as rigidly as they had before. I think too often students are copying down the steps and then "mimicking" the steps they copied down, which shows me that students have learned how to mimic, but they don't actually have a deep understanding of the math concept (this is shown when students are given a problem that doesn't explicitly follow the steps from their notes, and they may have to think outside the box). Do you find that these notebook counteract mimicking? What does your lesson structure look like? Thanks!

Thank you for this video! I'm a high school Math teacher from the Philippines by the way. I hope you could share some teaching strategies you use in your Math class. :)

HI there, Its four years and one pandemic later. Are you still using this notebook system (if that is, you are in person teaching)?

I would love to have your growth vs. fixed mindset insert and have tried signing up on your website to receive by email, but have gotten nothing. Could you help me out?

Hi! Do you put assignments/worksheets in your notebooks as well? Also your TPT link in the video bio does not work!

Do you know where I can get all these pages? The landing page to download the free templates doesn’t exist anymore.

greetings from the uk if you wanted to make one from scratch on a subject with no printables book avalible would you use a simular format

Do you utilize foldables at all with your INB? Have you tried the left side/right side method?

Love it!!!!!

really great video

Wonderful video. However when I add my name and email to get access to the free print outs, I am unable to access them.

Do allow the students to keep their book or you keep them throughout the year??

I have a question about the grades, Does it affect their progress report and report cards?

where can I find these hand outs

Do you have some of these pages on TPT?

Can you repost the link to the pages you used?

Thank you. Well done and helpful. Did you create all the inlays (glue in papers/note sheets) for the notebook yourself? Or is there somewhere to get them? Patrick

Do you have an Algebra interactive notebook?

Will you have the students take the notebooks home or do you have them keep it in the classroom ?

Do you have a copy of your INB rubric available?

This is my project Buy thank# for the help :D

super helpful! Thanks!

What was the name of the tape you used? Thank you.

Do you allow students to draw the info if they chose too?

Hello! Thanks for the video! Super helpful! One question: Where did you find the I can statements for geometry? Or did you make them yourself?

can i have a copy of your interactive notebook Grades

very easy 😃😃😍

Where can I buy your template for the very first page of the notebook? I seem to be having a hard time trying to create my own!

Define "common core rigor." From my experience, there's not enough rigor, compared to what I learned at the same age.

I actually like this, which is very sad. If students in 10th grade have to do something like this, it shows a sorry state of the educational abilities and maturity of kids today.

Where did you get your table of contents template?

Are you going to put this on your tpt for geometry?

Interactives makes me stressed 😩
