This week you need to work on organizing your notebooks. It is important to focus on creating notebooks that are functional, this means always having a heading and labeling all of your work (topics, do nows, page #'s and titles). It is also important to have a classwork section and a homework section; this will make it easier to review your work and study for exams.
