During the school year, each student will maintain a Social Studies Notebook to
record information about history.completed notebook.
To create and maintain a Social Studies Notebook, students must bring these
materials to class each day, however, the Social Studies Notebook will remain in class:
· A three inch 8 1/2-by-11-inch 3-ring notebook (a one and two inch is too small)
(The binder remains in the classroom on the appropriate shelf)
· Tab dividers labeled:
Islamic Civilization
Africa
Crusades/Europe
China
Japan
Maya, Aztec, Inca (if time allows)
(Type the labels and cut them to fit the notebook dividers.
Tape the ends so the labels don’t fall out)
·Pens with black ink for map making and writing(keep a supply of pens with you)
·Many pencils with an eraser (keep a supply of pencils with you)
·Two highlighter pens of different colors
·Colored pens. The Pentel Color Pens have proved to offer the best results for
students. This is essential. Keep a set at home so one is with you each day.
·Colored pencils for maps.
·Glue sticks—keep one or more that works all year! These are used frequently.
·A container for all of these (purse, backpack, vinyl packet)
Your success in the unit tests in social studies depend on an up-to-date notebook. Don’t
leave it until the end of the unit to put your papers in the notebook. Papers are often lost.
You may not use another’s notebook for the unit tests.
LABEL YOUR SUPPLIES WITH YOUR NAME!
If you run out of your basic supplies, replenish them as soon as possible. Be an
independent learner and not rely on others to give you pencils, paper, and pens. Take
responsibility for your own work in the classroom. Borrowing disrupts the flow of the
class and shortens the learning time in the period. Remember, if you have difficulty
obtaining these items, the school will provide them. You must see me after school to
discuss materials you need.
