Collecting My Thoughts

Help me give my students organization.

My Project

After writing my achievable and impactful goals for next year, I realized my students need to be able to see their past work and learn from it. A Chromebook case is not the place for writing assignments, rubrics, and worksheets.

Keeping my students organized is a challenging goal, but with the help of these binders, I believe it is achievable.

My ultimate goal is to make my students better writers. Keeping them organized and able to see past mistakes with corrections will help me get closer to accomplishing this goal. Students with learning disabilities will also benefit because a binder is a great way to help them stay on task and keep track of their work. All students will benefit.
