Period 1
The Binder
What is it?
A collection of daily student notes, class work, and
timed writings in a one inch binder kept specifically for
this class.
When is it due?
Every Friday.
Can it be turned in late?
No. Class work needs to be done in class. Students
should get notes from others if they missed something or
see me if they need help with the work.
When is the binder returned?
Almost always on the following Monday along with a
grading sheet that shows the points earned. The grading
sheet must be signed by a parent and returned on
Tuesday.
How is the binder organized?
There are eight sections that each need their own tab:
- Assignments - for assignment calendars
- Grades - for grade reports, tests, quizzes
- Grammar - for notes and work
- Vocabulary - for notes and work
- Writing - for timed writings, notes, drafts, rubrics
- Speech - for notes, drafts, rubrics

approved authors list, project ideas
