What is an ILL?
• It is a working portfolio (all of your notes,
classwork, etc.) in one convenient spot!
• It is an individual, personalized notebook
that allows you to record and process
information in an engaging manner.
Why do we use an ILL?
1) It allows you to process and retain
concepts more easily!
2) You can use it to thoroughly review
for quizzes and tests!
3) It helps you keep track of your
assignments, homework and class
work on a daily basis!
4) It serves as a study tool for the
EOGs!
Why do we use an ILL?
Best of all… The ILL allows you to
personalize your learning experiences by
having a way to reflect thoughtfully,
creatively, and individually!
I like to write
poetry!
I like
music!
I like to
draw!
There’s
something for
everyone!!!
How does the
ILL work?
Items on the
left show the
student’s . . .
LEARNING!
Items on the
right are…
RECEIVED
…from the
teacher or text.
Glue it on the “RIGHT” side!
Right is for receiving the content!
The right side “belongs” to Mrs. Wilson. I
choose what goes on the right side.
These pages will be numbered!!!
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5…)
The right side has information that all students must
know for tests/quizzes.
Glue it on the “RIGHT” side!
ALWAYS start the page with the date, page
title, and page number at the top of the
page.
WORKSHEETS

NOTES GIVEN

For
example…
NOTES TAKEN
DURING
VIDEOS
RESOURCE/
INFORMATION
PAGES
To the left, to the left…
The left side is where you show learning.
The left side belongs to YOU!
The left side is where you record your
PROCESSING of the notes, handouts, etc.
provided by the teacher.
These pages will NOT be numbered!! (They will
be labeled on your TOC with a P for Processed)
Simply writing down notes does NOT mean that you
have learned the information.
To the left, to the left…
Left Side Reflections must take up at least ¾ of the
page.
The LEFT side is used for your interaction with the
information using pictures, graphs, etc. to
remember information go on left hand side.
Every left side page gets used!
ALWAYS USE AT LEAST 4 COLORS, because colors
help the brain learn and organize information.
For
Example…
Maintaining your
Learning Log
Gluing Pages Into Your ILL
• For single sided sheets, glue the corners and a
spot in the middle. Covering the entire page
with glue is not an effective method and
wastes our resources.
• For double sided sheets, put a strip of glue
down one side of the paper or along the top.
This allows you to see both sides of the page!
• If you come across a “dead” glue stick, please
place it in the trashcan.
• If borrowing a glue stick from Mrs. Wilson,
return it to the appropriate container when
you are done gluing.
