Sure! It should look a bit like the “physical internet” from unit 1. You need to do a bit of creative copying, but then it should be good to go. I did update the document so it is a little more complete. ---

Thanks for sharing! I’m thinking of using a 3 ring binder w/notebook paper so they can journal as well as put handouts in it. I really thought I was going to have a paperless classroom but this will provide opportunities for kids with different learning styles to have something they can hang onto. Sometimes just seeing/doing things on the screen doesn’t seem concrete enough for kids. ---

Interesting! I like the idea of being able to incorporate handouts but I also get nervous about how well paper STAYS in a binder - with spiral notebooks I have noticed that the paper tears out with the weight of other things glued to it for some reason… that’s why I ask my students to get composition notebooks. The down side is I am always printing things at 70% and then students need to cut things out - it logistically is a lot messier. Let us know if the binder works! I hope it does! ---

I love the INB idea – I started with yours and have added my own along the way. I tend to make handouts on 1/2 pages and print two to a page and it fits nicely. I am following the [Code.org](http://Code.org) curriculum and really like the INB to help organize both me and the students! Feel free to see/use my work in progress – I hope to add a document for each unit explaining the whole process.

Thanks so much for sharing!!! I do an Interactive Notebook in my classes also (we called it our “Abstraction Notebook”) and I will definitely steal many of the handouts and half-page notes/info you posted! As usual, you are amazing Katie! ---

😊 Thanks! My goal is to add to it for unit 5 this summer! Do you do anything in your “Abstraction Notebooks” for that unit? Hope all is well! ---

Hi everyone, I made [these](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uLM_9Y9tg21Oj5n2__zNQ4JwSCjGJPQtlmugffA4RQc/edit?tab=t.0) QUICKLY over the last few days. It is a mini-chapter on the reference language in preparation for the AP test. It isn’t quite as clean or put-together as the other materials, but since the test will be upon us soon, I thought I would post it now! Hope it helps! KT ---

Thank you for sharing @kaitie_o_bryan. I found a website with a number of interactive notebook foldable templates for free - I’d love to see how you’d all use them in CSP [https://www.homeschoolshare.com/lapbook-templates.php](https://www.homeschoolshare.com/lapbook-templates.php) ---

HI Katie, These examples are terrific. If you have a chance adding those other chapters would be beyond helpful. I will upload some pictures of my students notebooks. Thanks!! Theresa ---
