The extra points organized binder:

Each student has the opportunity to keep an organized binder for extra credit. This binder will be due at the final exam day and MUST follow the criteria listed below in order to earn the 50 extra credit points.

1.      It must be divided in 6 sections. The dividers/tabs must be typed and in this order:

a.      Notas

b.      Vocabulario

c.       Actividades de clase y tarea

d.      Lecturas

e.      Composiciones

f.       Pruebitas

2.      It must have a computer generated/typed cover sheet which includes name, period, and the class. This must be the first page inside the 3 ring binder. The binder must be 1”- 2” in good condition.

3.      All materials must be 3 hole-punched, neat and in the proper categories. Binder with the ripped holes, wrinkled papers, or paper stuffed in the folder pockets will not be given any credit.

This is an easy way to earn some extra credit for the semester. The points will be added either to your homework or classwork category for the semester (not the final exam). It is also an easy way to learn to become organized and will ensure that all your materials are in one place and ready for class each day. You are expected to keep it current and continued to add to it during the semester. There are going to be announced and unannounced check-ups throughout the semester. Do not wait until the last minute to organize it. Class time will not be given to work on your notebooks.
