ISN

= The purpose of an ISN is to help students stay organized. It allows them to review their notes and show understanding of concepts using their creativity. It is meant to be a resource for students to use in class that will help them succeed and hopefully will become their own personalized textbook for the class. Student page numbers need to match the master ISN's (the teacher's ISN) page numbers. =

When I conducted an ISN check on 9/28/12, I noticed the following issues that need to be corrected before the next ISN check, which will be a test grade.

 * Secure all handouts to the pages (handouts that have been assigned a page) with tape, glue, or staples. There should be no loose pages.
 * All pages need to have a clear title.
 * All pages need to be numbered so that the number can be easily viewed.
 * Table of contents needs to be filled out.
 * Pages should be in order.
 * Page numbering needs to match the teacher's master ISN numbering.
 * All pages that do not have "n/a" in the "L. Side Rating" column need to have a left side.

==ISN pages need left sides. When creating a left side for a page, you basically show me that you have reviewed your notes and are trying to think about them in a different way. The left side is the "student output" side. Click the links below to view a list of ideas as well as samples from your peers.== (No, you are NOT limited to this list.) (This one was very useful -- the squares have definitions on top; underneath the squares are the words.)

=You will find files and pictures below that will help you to stay up to date with your ISN.=
