Social Studies Interactive Notebook

In this class, we will be using an Interactive Notebook. The interactive notebook is more than a notebook in which to take notes. It is a way of collecting and processing information. It will be your notebook for history class. The Interactive Notebook uses a right side and left side to help you organize your learning. The right page includes traditional class assignments: notes, worksheets, etc. The left side is a place for you to process that information.

Purpose: information from today’s activity (learning)Examples: textbook or lecture notes, vocabulary, lab procedure & data, worksheet, concept mapPurpose: reflect or apply today’s activityExamples: content or lab questions, quick-write, 3-2-1 summary, diagram, graphPurpose: focus on today’s activityExamples: pre-test, quick-write, demonstration, T-chart

ImplementationNotebooks can be kept in your binder. Bring it to class every day. It will not be in your best interest to lose it.Number the pages sequentially. Do not remove any pages.

Other information will be included as appendices.Use color to help organize your information.Handouts, foldables and other papers should be glued or taped in place. No staples.You will need other supplies: markers, glue stick, tape, ruler, pencils, colored pencilsNotebooks will be graded each unit using self, peer and teacher checklists.

Early American CivilizationNative peoples

Timeline of Paleo Indians

Paleo-Indians Paleo Indian refers to the

small bands of nomadic people who first

populated North America. After crossing the large

expanse of land that appeared between Alaska

and Siberia during the last glacial period, they

kept traveling until some of them had reached as far as the southern tip of South America and as far

east as Virginia.

Clovis CultureKnown for invention of superbly crafted grooved or fluted stone projectiles (Clovis points) first found near Clovis, New Mexico, in 1932. Clovis points have been found throughout the Americas. Hunted big game, notably mammoths.

Folsom CultureNamed for site found near Folsom, New Mexico, 1926. Developed a smaller, thinner, fluted spear point than Clovis type. Hunted big game, notably the huge bison ancestor of the modern buffalo. First used a spear-throwing device called an atlatl (an Aztec word for “spear-thrower”). Discovery of Folsom point in 1927 gave first proof of Glacial Man in America.

Plano Culture

They are associated primarily with the Great Plains area. Were bison hunters. Developed a delicately flaked spear point that lacked fluting. Adopted mass-hunting technique (jump-kill) to drive animal

herds off a cliff.First to use grinding stones to grind seeds and meat.
