In order to be successful in Freshman English, there are several items necessary for all students to have.  Each student must have:
  • pens
  • pencils
  • a highlighter
  • an assignment or agenda book - these will be provided by the school this year.
  • a binder (this can be shared with other subjects if desired)
    • at least 4 section dividers for binder
    • lined filler paper for binder
Binder 
At several times this year your binders will be assessed for completeness.  You will be earning a test grade based on how complete and comprehensive your binders are.  Your binder should be broken into the following sections:


I.            
 “Do Now” section: this includes current and returned “Do Now” sheets.

II.         
Unit Notes/Vocabulary:  This section will include all notes pertaining to the unit we are working on, such as Short Stories, Poetry, Epic Poetry, etc., as well as vocabulary lists and activities.

III.      
Homework/Classwork:  Place all homework assignments, whether due or returned, in this section, including worksheets, study guides, etc. 

IV.        
Test/Quizzes/Papers:  When quizzes and tests are handed back, place them in this section to use as study material for future assessments.
