Right side activities will ask you to demonstrate your understanding of new ideas. Right side activities are your choice, you may select whatever activity you like, but you may not do the same activity more than twice in one unit.

You will be graded based on the Interactive Notebook Rubric (http://msherzlworldhistory.wikispaces.com/Interactive+Notebooks). At the beginning of every unit you will be given an outline/table of contents which you must paste into your notebook. Your table of contents should be updated on a daily basis. If you do not have your notebook on the day of an unannounced check you will receive a zero (0). If you do not have your notebook on the day of the unit test/scheduled notebook check you may turn it in late for partial credit (25% everyday it is late).<br />How long should it take to work on my notebook? <br />Normally class time is given to work on left side assignments and sometimes this includes time to work on a right side. The expectation is that you will revisit your left side that evening or the next to review the material by completing a right side activity of your own choosing. Once you have a good understanding of the kinds of right side activities that can be done, it should take you about 15 minutes to complete a right side. <br />What happens if I am absent?<br />If you are absent, it is your responsibility to obtain notebook assignments from the teacher. Please refer to the student handbook and course expectations (http://msherzlworldhistory.wikispaces.com/Course+Expectations+CP)<br /> for the policies regarding absences.<br />Share the information of this handout with a parent, then sign on the line below. Then paste it on pages 2 and 3 in the front of your notebook for reference.
