Binder/Notebook Instructions

Having a binder dedicated to your World History class and having it organized in a logical fashion will help serve you throughout this semester. An organized binder makes it easier to look up information quickly, study for tests, review your notes, look at past grades, etc. There will be periodic binder checks throughout the semester. Here is the required format for your binder:

1.) The binder will be dedicated solely for World History so make sure you keep your other course materials in other binders.

2.) Use at least a 1 ½” 3-ringed binder. Since the many of your papers will be downloaded from the internet, you might want to print the papers back-to-back to save paper and space in your binder.

4.) Every paper you download or receive in class will receive a number given by the teacher. Write the number on each assignment, paper, etc. on the right-hand corner of the paper. Also, don’t forget to write your name, period and date.

5.) Download the Course Table of Contents (TOC) and always have it in front of your binder. The TOC will help you find things easier. Throughout the semester, you will need to update the TOC either by hand or periodically downloading an updated version.

6.) Your binder should have 5 tabbed dividers. The teacher will let you know what to label the tabs in class.
