Not only are the students more organized, but they are also more engaged because of the organization. \r\n\r\nEverything they have done in the last two weeks is in one place and there is a table of contents so they are able to go back to previous lessons for review a lot quicker and more confidently. \r\n\r\nThese will also help when we get to the end of the year because entire units will be easier to go through and study for their final exams. All activities are able to be placed in the notebooks no matter what they are. \r\n\r\nThey are also easier for myself and my student teacher to grade them because everything is in one place.
