This document discusses classroom routines and materials for a language integrated curriculum. It covers the tasks of the student in charge, behavior during lessons, use of electronic notebooks, notebook types, and note taking strategies. The student in charge summarizes the previous lesson and informs classmates of homework. Students are expected to participate actively and work collaboratively. Electronic notebooks can only be used for class assignments and proper notebook organization is encouraged through binders and dividers. Effective note taking involves writing headings, numbering pages, and leaving space for additions.
