(No other classes!!)
Date and number each page

4. A+ Organization
Table of Contents My entry is organized. My entry is complete. The page numbers are written. My handwriting is neat. Notes I have a title. I have a date. I have the pages numbered. My notes are specific!! Drawings/ Diagrams/Charts I used a ruler for straight lines. This is my best, neatest work. Everything is labeled. My diagrams/drawings are specific! Glossary Each word is underlined. I skipped a line between each word.
