Instructions for Notesbook

This is your composition, college ruled, lined notebook.

This is used for key handouts and notes.

Key things to remember:

• Keep this organized correctly– There will be notebook checks and it is much easier to

grade if done correctly• This is similar to how high school sets up their

notebooks• Please write legibly and stay within the lines/boxes• Do not cram notes or diagrams in a small space.

Use the pages in your notebook and continue on to another page even if it’s just for a small section.

5. Finish Numbering Reference Pages

Continue to number the reference pages front and back all the way to “20” on the top outside corners. These papers will be used for future handouts.

• Using the empty page directly to the right of Reference/handout page “20”, make a page arrow.

1. Do this by folding the bottom outside corner up towards the centerfold to create a 45 degree angle.

2. Then take the top outside corner and fold down towards the centerfold to make an other 45 degree angle

3. Crease the folds and thus you have an arrow
