Student notebooks (3-ring binders) must be divided into two sections: Notes and Bell Ringers. Students are responsible for keeping their notebooks up to date. The following is a running log to help students keep their notebooks current.

Remember, unless otherwise directed, each Bell Ringer question must be a paragraph in length (4-5 sentences) in order to receive full credit for your response. There are, however, no right or wrong answers as long as you try. Additionally, for the Notes section of your notebook, you must take down the main points of each set of notes-not the entire class discussion, but the main points.
