Notebooks<br />
Students will be expected to keep a notebook describing and reflecting upon their experiences<br />
in class and responding to daily assignments. Additionally, students will record key vocabulary<br />
terms and definitions, as well as notes delivered during class sessions. Though time will be<br />
given in class for written work, students will be asked to bring their work home. Notebooks<br />
will be checked and graded throughout the year.<br />
Portfolios<br />
Each student will have an individual portfolio to track their progress and preserve their<br />
academic achievement. Portfolios will be left in class and checked regularly. Portfolio grades<br />
