A five-subject spiral bound notebook has been a fabulous choice for my classes. Composition books are great but each year I have students that run out of room. They then change to a different notebook and it isn't nearly as organized as the first.
Table of Contents - Keeping it simple!
Foldables - My students favorite way to add content to their notebooks.
Illustrate the notes - Even students who aren't artistic appreciate a quick pic as a reference.
Fold those handouts/worksheets - In an attempt to keep as much information on a page as possible, students were allowed to fold their handouts and glue them in.
Diagrams, Charts, Organizers, and Everything Else...

I am starting ISN's this year and have been doing a ton of research! I love the look of yours! Do you do the right side/ left side, input / output? Thanks!!
Lisa,
Best wishes on starting ISN's this year! My students find them very valuable. As for the right/left side, I would suggest to try it but make it a lesson priority. It didn't quite work our for me in the past because I didn't design my lesson around the notebook. Instead, I always made the ISN more of a fit to my already made lessons plans. Look on Pinterest for a form titled "Interactive Notebook Planning." If I can find it I'll post a link to it. I think that will be a wonderful resource for planning the ISN.
