The Binder for Ms. Miner's World History Classes Your binder will be the "go-to" place for both you and me. Periodically I will ask you to leave your binders so that I may grade them. Some assignments may not be collected - I will look for them in your binder in the appropriate section. Not all binder inspections will be announced in advance! WHY A BINDER? (instead of a notebook) - Reason #5 - you can't easily put handouts into a notebook. Reason #4 - you will want to keep your returned work where you can find it -- in your binder! Reason #3 - you will want to arrange your notes and homework in logical order. Reason #2 - you won't have to buy a new notebook for each unit. The Top Reason- #1 - it's a requirement! WHAT TO GET: A 3-ring 1" - 1.5" binder. Obtain a "heavy duty" binder, preferably one that has "locking" tabs. You will be using this binder all year, and you do not want to have to struggle with rings that don't quite mesh, or rings that open unexpectedly and fling your papers to the wind! You'll also want the "view" type binder so that you can insert a new "cover page" for each unit. Expect to pay $4-$6 for a heavy-duty binder. You will also need to buy loose-leaf binder paper. NOT ACCEPTABLE: a spiral or other notebook "inserted" into the binder! Find index tabs or make your own. Note that each section must be divided by tabs that stick out SETTING UP YOUR BINDER:
HOW TO DIVIDE THE BINDER: Use TABS (that stick out) to divide each section. Each section must be labeled on its Tab. Note that "numbered indexes" are not OK. The name of the section must be on the tab.
