Teacher Information
Right Side• The Right side belongs to Mrs. Bentheim• The Right side has all “testable” information
– Date– Title and Unit pages– Vocabulary– Class, reading, and discussion notes– Worksheets– Table of Contents– Study Guides– Quizzes– Content and Language Objectives– Other relevant information
Right Side• 1. Should be completely done. • 2. Should clearly have both the title of the assignment
at the top and the date centered to the right of the title. The page should be numbered in the top right-hand corner.
• 3. All assignments should be in chronological order by the times they were assigned.
• 4. All right side assignments should be done only on right sides unless other instructed by Mrs. Bentheim.
• 5. Each fully completed and correct right side assignment earns a grade.
Any missing part (date, title, incomplete, etc.) will cause points to be deduced.
Examples of Right Side Assignments
• Articles• Notes• Graphic Organizers / Thinking
Maps• In-class Assignments• Recording Sheets
Left Side• Left Side is to record your thinking,
reflections, questions, thoughts, impressions, connections, and wonderings.
• The Left side belongs to YOU!– Apply skills learned in class– Use graphs, charts, Venn Diagrams, research from
internet – Make connections between new and old learning– Questions– Thinking Maps– Poems– Songs– Homework– Classwork– Brainstorming– Sketches related to learning– Other relevant information
Examples of Left Side Assignments
All of these can be done for the left side of each right side page. Every individual right side page (even for many pages of the same assignment) must have an accompanying left side activity.

A new notebook for each quarter!!!
Deductions for Lateness and Lack of Chronological
Order • 1. If a student has forgotten to bring their notebook for
that particular class when a notebook check is announced, they may bring it by the very next calendar day, but 30% will be deducted from their notebook score for that check; If the notebook is brought the next time US History meets (two calendar days later), 50% will be deducted from the overall score for that check. After two calendar days, no points can be earned for that notebook check.
• 2. Any right side assignment that is found to be out of chronological order will cause a 10% reduction in the overall score of a notebook evaluation.
Each time the notebook is evaluated it will constitute a test grade. Notebook checks are unannounced and can occur at any random time during the school year.
How long should it take to work on my
notebook? • Normally class time is given to work on right
side assignments and sometimes this includes time to work on a left side. The expectation is that you will revisit their right side that evening or the next to review the material by completing a left side activity of your own choosing. Once you have a good understanding of the kinds of left side activities that can be done, it should take you about 15 minutes to complete a left side.
