| KEEPING
ALL OF YOUR WORK IN THREE FOLDERS CAN SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE AND LIGHTEN YOUR BAG
You should keep
your class notes in notebooks (see how to take notes
for details) and your class materials in binders or folders... But you don't
need to carry all of these binders and folders with you all the time... some things
should be kept in your locker or your study area at home for use when getting
ready for quizzes, tests and exams... The rest of the time you should only carry
what you need right now... that's where the three folder system comes in.
The idea
behind the three folder system is to allow you to easily and simply keep track
of all of your current work and get it in on time! Everyday
at school, you are given worksheets and other materials that you have keep
and find later. Its easy to misplace these things... if you just stuff them in
your bag at the end of a class. Assisted study has a plan to help. We use three
folders (available from Mr. Lacroix): Folder
1. Things I am working on: This folder is where you put all
the worksheets, project descriptions and other things that have been assigned
to you that you have not finished yet. (So you can find them when you need them.)
Folder 2.
Things that are done: This folder includes all the completed work
you are ready to hand in (even if it's not due yet). Each day, in each class,
you will look here to find the things that are due to be passed in on that day.
(So you can know where it is and hand it in on time) Folder
3. Everything else: This is the place to put all of the things
you need to keep that don't belong in one of the other two folders. It holds
them only for a short time. Everyday,l go through this folder and clean it out.
You should throw the junk away and keep the useful stuff in folders or binders
at home for use in preparing for tests and exams. |
