DECORATING
YOUR ISN
Your
ISN (Interactive Student Notebook) is the organizational tool you will use in
Social Studies. Your work and notes will
be kept in the notebook, and it should live in my room - unless you need to
take it home to work on it or to study for a quiz or test. It will be checked periodically to make sure all
pages are up to date. You will need a
composition book for your ISN.
Your
first assignment is to create one collage
for the front cover and one for the back cover.
Your ISN will be a reflection of who you are.
FRONT COVER:
Make a
collage that is all about YOU! Include photographs of you and your family, your
pets, holiday and family celebrations, hobbies, family activities, etc. Make
sure your first and last name are CLEARLY written on the front cover.
BACK COVER: Make a collage about the WORLD. Include photographs or pictures (post cards or
other paper souvenirs could be copied for this) from the Internet of places you have been and/or would
like to visit.
GUIDELINES:
Ø Every inch of both sides of
your ISN should be covered by the
picture collage. Don’t leave more than a
sliver of the original cover peeping through.
Ø Adhere
a name tag in the lower right corner of
the front cover (I will provide one for you if you wish). Write the name you have asked me to call you
and your last name
Ø Use wide clear tape or laminating paper to
cover and protect front and back covers.
Ø Remember,
all pictures must be classroom appropriate.
Ø The
finished, overall appearance and neatness of your ISN should reflect your very best effort.
Your decorated and laminated ISN is due at the beginning of the class on Wednesday, September 20. Any ISN that is not completed by this date
will receive a late grade (-25 points), which means the highest grade it could
receive would be 75.
Please bring the ISN to class each day – no matter where it
is in the decorating process.
If you
have any questions about the ISN assignment, please speak to me. I will help you before or after school and/or
give you an ACTIVITY PASS to see me during Activity.
