@period3withmadib: Hot take: open notebook finals are MORE rigorous. 🤍📖 My students build this notebook all year long with grammar, writing, themes, literary analysis, ACT prep, vocabulary, and novels… so by the end of the year, the notebook becomes the curriculum. Instead of memorizing random information for a test, students actually have to APPLY what they learned. Comment NOTEBOOK if you want to see the system I use all year long. #secondaryela #englishteacher #highschoolteacher #interactivenotebook #teacherlife
