your every-day journal type entries.
These are discoveries or comments that are
noted as written entries.
2. The sketch book records your investigation
or research notes. Use
the research data record forms.
3. The sketch book should also include all of the various teacher
hand out sheets.
4. The sketch book records your thumbnail sketches
and concept design plans.
The sketch book records your progress journal
(keep a record in an informal way.) The sketch book/notebook should
not be left until the end of the quarter to work on. This defeats its
