THE NOTEBOOK’S COVER Students’ notebooks should be easily recognizable to each student. My Book

Let’s Begin · Create a title page for the notebook. This includes student’s name and number, and any other information you think is important. · Number the title page #1. On the back of PAGE #1, number it as PAGE #2. Odd numbers will always on the right side pages, and even numbers will always be on the left. There will be NO blank pages. · Pages are NEVER torn out. Notebooks must be kept neat because you will need them to study for the CTE Post Assessment in May.
