| Materials
| |
Students will need to bring the following materials with them on a daily basis to class. Periodic "materials checks" will be conducted throughout each quarter. Sometimes students will be asked to do things a certain way using these materials on various assignments & activities. Therefore, it is very important that these materials are always in a student's possession on a consistent basis.
1) A 3-ring binder (1" minimum) with 5 dividers labeled Vocabulary, Notes, Assignments, Tests/Quizzes, & Homework. Please note it is o.k. for a student to have a larger 3-ring binder that they use for all of their classes as long as the Social Studies portion of this binder is laid out neatly in the manner described above.
2) Notebook paper (without spiral binding)
3) Pencil & pen
4) Colored pencils
5) Highlighter
*A calculator is recommended but not required.

Social Studies Notebook
|
Students are required to maintain a notebook (3-ring binder) for this class. The intent of requiring such a notebook is to teach the students important organizational skills that are necessary to be successful in this class & school in general. Periodic "notebook checks" per quarter will be conducted for a grade as well.
Calendar = Students are also provided with a calendar per quarter & it is to be kept within their notebook. They are required to copy down the daily agenda within this calendar. Clicking on the Calendar link to the left will show you the exact same daily agenda. This will help remind them of what assignments/activities were worked on for that day and hopefully help them better organize their time effectively to ensure completion of their assignments. The calendar will be turned in at the end of each quarter for a grade.
Assignment Chart = Students are also provided with an assignment chart per quarter. This chart allows the student to record the points they earn on each of their assignments. Using some simple addition & then division, a student can easily calculate their grade on their own. This assignment chart is to be kept in the notebook as well and will be turned in for a grade at the end of each quarter. |
