Here is the part of my syllabus that lays out a sample unit for any one of my classes. My units are 3-4 weeks long for all my classes. This also shows the materials students need. After trying a few methods, I have decided to use an interactive notebook in the future. So each student must have a composition style notebook where they will keep all written and visual work. Hand-outs will be pasted into the notebook. I like this way of organizing student work so that we may reflect on previous work students have done throughout the year or semester. I will do notebook checks at least once per unit. I will check notebooks randomly so that students maintain complete and organized notebooks at all times.
This is the form we used for Binder/Notebook Check for AVID. For my Social Studies Notebook Checks I will modify this to be class specific.
