Duotang Criteria
Being organized in life and for school is an important skill to develop. In order to help you practice this skill and to help prepare you for Highschool we will be using duotangs this year.
But, why are we not using binders? There are a few reasons. 1) They are bulky and you won't be able to fit them all in your backback and desk. In highschool, you will have a locker to help with this and you will only have 4 subjects at a time. 2) When binders fall, they usually open and spill all of your papers. 3) Color coded duotangs gives you a visual reminder of which homework to take home.
Below is the criteria for labeling your duotangs. We will be using different colors for different subjects (see below).
The expectation is that you are putting all work and worksheets into your duotang in date order. Yes, you need to learn how to use a hole punch. Do not just jam them behind the front cover.
