Your notebook is 40% of your grade. It is almost impossible to pass the class without doing it properly. This is how every page on your notebook should look:
- Work must be done in a 100 page composition book. I will not grade other types of notebooks. Students may buy a composition book from the store, may buy a compostion book from Fortune for $.50, or may come in during tutoring time to work 15 minutes to earn one.
- Title of the page written out completely (For example, "Warm Up for Monday, September 13, 2010").
- Title of page highlighted.
- For warm ups, highlight answers. If calculations must be performed to get the answer, work must be SHOWN and boxed.
- Page numbered in bottom right hand corner for page fronts, bottom left hand corner for page backs.
- All papers that need to be attched to the page should be secured and trimmed to fit the page. I will not grade notebooks that have pages unattached or that have pages whose margins exceed the size of the notebook.
- Work should be neat and easy to read
- Page numbers MUST match the page numbers listed in the "Notebook Check Table of Contents". You can find this table of contents in two places:
- In the classroom pocket charts
- On the "Notebook Table of Contents" menu bar on this website
