Time-Saving interactive notebook templates that allow students to show what they know!

Interactive Notebooks: Language Arts for eighth grade is a fun way to teach and reinforce effective note taking for students. Students become a part of the learning process with activities about textual evidence, literary devices, theme, analyzing argument, revision and editing, verb moods, and more!

This book is an essential resource that will guide you through setting up, creating, and maintaining interactive notebooks for skill retention in the classroom. High-interest and hands-on, interactive notebooks effectively engage students in learning new concepts. Students are encouraged to personalize interactive notebooks to fit their specific learning needs by creating fun, colorful pages for each topic. With this note-taking process, students will learn organization, color coding, summarizing, and other important skills while creating personalized portfolios of their individual learning that they can reference throughout the year.

Spanning grades kindergarten to grade 8, the Interactive Notebooks series focuses on grade-specific math, language arts, or science skills. Aligned to meet current state standards, every 96-page book in this series offers lesson plans to keep the process focused. Reproducibles are included to create notebook pages on a variety of topics, making this series a fun, one-of-a-kind learning experience.

Our most rugged headset, the Deluxe Multimedia Stereo headset is designed for small group or independent learning in computer labs, online or in classrooms and libraries.

The Deluxe Multimedia Stereo headset offers ambient noise-reducing, over-ear earcups to help students stay more on task while minimizing the need to increase the volume for hearing protection. Its noise-reducing boom microphone is ideal for vocal recordings and is the recommended headset by leading reading programs. The individual volume control gives students a comfortable and customized sound experience that's valuable for sustained practice in literacy or language programs and help support the ELA requirements within the Common Core State Standards.

Connection features a dual 3.5mm plugs. The Deluxe Multimedia Stereo headset is built using durable ABS plastic to withstand shattering into potentially sharp and dangerous shards, unlike items made for less frequent consumer use, whose materials don't stand up to the rigors of repeated use in classrooms.

• Durable ABS plastic earcups
• In-line volume control
• Adjustable, padded headband with replaceable foam-filled ear cushions
• Around-ear ambient noise-reducing earcups deliver maximum protection against exterior sounds (without added electronic circuitry and expense). This reduces the need to increase the volume (protecting the ears) and helps keep students on task.

Thumb-typing on smartphones and tablets can be cumbersome. While this style may be ok for social uses, it's different when it comes to educational purposes or during high stakes assessments.
