Something You Need to Keep All Year in Your Notebook
Notebook Directions/Requirements
1.
Divide by time periods.
a. 8000 BCE to 600 CE
b. 600 CE to 1450 CE
c. 1450 to 1750 CE
d. 1750 to 1914 CE
e. 1914—present
Point of reference: BCE is “Before Common Era”—Before Christ, year ZERO. CE is “Common Era”—A.D.,
Year of Our Lord. Dates before CE/AD go from big to small (8000 BCE, 600 BCE, 33 BCE, etc.) “Common
Era” gets bigger as time goes on—1250, 1492, 1776, etc. Usually, as the CE era goes on, the “CE” isn’t
put on the date, but the BCE/BC always is.
Does that make sense?
2.
Keep everything. This includes all returned papers. If you have a zero, prove me wrong. You
have to have the returned paper, though.
3. Purchase several freezer-size Ziploc bags. We will punch holes in these so that you can put
these in your notebook(s). For each chapter, make vocabulary flashcards. You will need these
for reviewing as the BIG DATE approaches.
4. I’ll check your notebook the last day of the six weeks when you are taking your six weeks exam.
It should be an easy 100 for a test grade.
