13. Your notebook will be collected on each test day.
This grade will be worth 30 points.
The grade will be based on completion, following directions, and creativity. You will receive a rubric later.
There may also be spot grading for effort. Keep up to date!

You may always check your notebook against the class copy.
This is certainly a work in progress. All directions are subject to change with enough notice 
