NOTEBOOK CHECK REQUIREMENTS
As the month progresses, I will add assignments students should have in their composition books. Books are collected at the end of each month and students receive a classwork grade based on the work completed. Points are taken off for; incomplete/missing assignments, missing dates and lack of titles.
Clicking on the title of the notes will bring you to a Google Doc of the notes themselves.
