Real Life Binder Project
One of the goals of this course is to help you create a conglomerate of useful tools that could be used to help you navigate life on your own. This comes in the form of the Real Life Binder project. Students have been reminded all semester: get a binder, keep your papers in it and organized, don't throw anything away - you will need it again!! See below for specific due dates. All of the listed artifacts need to be completed and neatly organized in the binder and ready for grading at the beginning of class on this day. This is graded in the Project category in the grade book, which means it is an important assignment; it will also be included with 3rd and 4th quarter grades. See the attached document below with the complete list of artifacts required for the binder.
