Notebook Organization

Left Side –
Students Process Information / Right Side –
Teacher Provides Information
The left side belongs to you!
These assignments will ask you to present the information we process in class in a new and meaningful way.Look on side the board for ideas. / The right side belongs to Mrs. Dyck for:
Notes
Handouts
Book Assignments
You will not write on the back of your pages, as these become the “left side”.

Friendly Reminders:

Make sure assignments are completed on the correct page – I will not search for your assignment.

Write in ink (or lose ten points!)

Use color - the notebook is a visual study tool!

Your notebook needs to be in class every day if it is to be useful – return it in to the bin at the end of class.
