Students are required to keep a binder for this class in a highly structured manner. Below, you will find an updated table of contents, which will model what the table of contents should look like in the student's binder. In addition, all documents should be in the correct order. The table of contents also keeps track of assignments and due dates and provides students with a schedule/agenda for each class. The guided note sheets for each day can be previewed, downloaded, and printed. All documents will be available here for the student to print out and complete if they lose the copy given to them in class. Click here for the table of contents pages.
