You will submit your notebook for a mark at the end of each unit. It is easy to get top marks. Just do the following:

1. Complete at least three of your own entries by the end of the unit.
2. Complete all teacher-directed entries throughout the unit.  You can use the template.
3. Show evidence of effort and thought. If you submit a picture or article add a brief note of why. 
4. Keep it organized. For your own entries write the date and a title that works for you. 

 Evaluation will be based on the Writer's Notebook rubric.
