Additional Materials

Final Draft Notebook
Students are required to have a 1/2 inch binder with at least 25 clear protector sheets in it at home. When a final draft of a paper is returned, the students must polish it by making the corrections that have been noted. (They do not have to re-label the polished draft.) Students place the polished copy in their notebook to have as a permanent record of their work to show friends and family. I will periodically be checking the notebooks to be sure that the students are keeping up. The students can be creative and make this binder something they can be proud of!
