Changes to the student rules and procedures!

Hi all!

There are two additions to the student rules and procedures for my classes. Please be advised that:
1. Students must have their name (first and last), date, and period on the top right hand corner of all papers. I will deduct 1 point from any assignments with incomplete headers.

Due to the volume of papers I see, spending extra time trying to figure out who a paper belongs to, what class they are in or when the assignment was from can cause hours of extra work.

2. Cornell Notes MUST have a correct header and must be formatted correctly. Cornell Notes are worth 10 points: 1 point for a correct header, 1 point for correct formatting (including color coding and symbols), 5 points for notes, 3 points for summary.

For information on how to create Cornell Notes please visit the 8th grade materials page on my Teacherweb site.

Thanks!
Mrs. A
