1. Get out your composition book…
If you need a sharpie to write your name on it, they are in a basket on my desk behind my computer.
I also recommend writing ‘Chaumont’ on it…so if it gets accidentally left in the school somewhere, it will be brought to my room.
I’m also selling some for .50¢
We are also about to go get our textbooks.
These go home with you AND STAY THERE…
I have class sets for the room.
TAKE YOUR ID WITH YOU

2. Front of Book
If you have a dark cover that you can’t see sharpie on, come see me…I’ve got something magical for you.

3. Front Sheet
Decorate this page how you wish…

4. LAB STEPS
Turn the page, and on the back of your decorated page, paste/tape in your lab steps.
This is a reference for you when completing lab write ups.
Not all steps are used for every lab, FYI

5. CHAUMONT AP BIO REFERENCE SHEET
This sheet has all the basic info you need for organization in this class.
Put this in across from your lab steps

6. TEST GRADE CHART & TEST GRADE GRAPH
My recommendation is to put these two in where you can easily view both at the same time.
This will help you keep track of how you do in each unit- which will come in handy when we get close to the big AP Exam.

7. Ecology Table of Contents (T.O.C.)
We will have a separate TOC for each Unit.
Each TOC will have a titled tab
Use a sharpie to write ‘Ecology’ on your tab.

8. Ecology Table of Contents (T.O.C.)
Put your tab on the page you will be making your TOC.
Make sure you can see Ecology from the front of the book.
You might want to secure it with a piece of tape as well.

9. Ecology Table of Contents (T.O.C.)
Set up your TOC page like the picture.
I have rulers by the ‘What’d I Miss’ wall.
The columns left to right read:
Page
Item
Date
Grade

10. Ecology Table of Contents (T.O.C.)
Your entry for Page 1 is:
‘Ecology Objectives’, 8/31

11. Ecology Table of Contents (T.O.C.)
Turn the page
Put the page # in a corner
Fold your Objectives page, so you can open it like a book and paste/tape it on page 1.

12. Other important information
You will receive a comp book grade each six weeks.
I will also grade your lab reports separately from the comp book grade.
I will keep a running table of contents at the front of the room to help you organized.
We use these almost DAILY.
I will warn you when I will be grading them ahead of time.
WHEN FINISHED, PUT YOUR COMP. BOOK IN THE CLASS BIN AND PLAY JENGA!
