Binders

**CP Biology** 2011-2012
 * Binder Directions**

You will be keeping a journal in a three-ring binder for this class. You need to write entries in your binder as they are assigned. You will use your binder for labs, class notes and handouts as the opportunities present themselves throughout the year.

Keep all entries in order **FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR!** __**Do not throw any entries away until the end of the year. (Student Folders can hold the “overflow”)**__

Your binder should be divided into five sections IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER; Table of contents >> >> >>
 * 1) Notes/Labs
 * 2) Reflections
 * 3) Study Guides
 * 4) Homework
 * 5) Other
 * 1) Keep a running “Table of Contents” for Notes/Lab section by writing the date, title of the entry and page number each time you write a new entry.
 * 2) Number the pages in the “Notes/Lab” section on both the front and back of the page.
 * 3) At the top of the page in the “Notes/Lab” section you should write the date, the title and the page number for each new entry.
 * 4) Keep your writing informal.
 * 5) Date all entries.
 * 6) Use a separate page for each entry in the “Notes/Lab” section.

**You will use your binder EVERY day! Make sure you have it with you!**
