Everything you want and need to know about our notebooks.... In my class, we learn history through examining documents, photographs, videos, music, taking notes, participating in debates, in-class projects, etc. Due to this, we CREATE our own textbooks to use for the year! • Each student will need two notebooks for the duration of the school year. (One notebook per semester.) • Each student is responsible for completing and maintaining his or her notebooks from September through June. • The cover should be decorated with visuals about your child and his or her name must appear clearly. • Notebook pages must be numbered FRONT and BACK from 1-200 (a 100 page notebook numbered on both sides). • The notebook is the TEXTBOOK for my class. • All worksheets that are completed in class are labeled with a page number. It is the student's responsibility to attach these pages to the corresponding numbered page in his or her notebook the day they are distributed. • Pages that are NOT attached do NOT receive credit. • Tests and projects are completed through these notebook pages. • Please make sure that pages are attached every night. Students are given glue and time at the end of every class to attach the pages from that day. • Notebooks are graded every one to two weeks and count as 30% of each report card grade. Notebook checks will be both announced and unannounced. • Failure to maintain a neat, completed, and organized notebook can result in failure of my class. RECOMMENDED NOTEBOOK: ONE SUBJECT FIVE STAR SPIRAL NOTEBOOK. (COLLEGE RULED with page size 8.5 x 11in) They are available at any school supply store. They are also for sale at Target for around $2. *NO MARBLE COMPOSITION BOOKS* |
