  5. In our American Studies class, you will use your 8th-grade binder for many important purposes. These binders will be a major component of your American history grade. You will use them to organize ALL class materials. They will also serve as a learning tool to reference information and study for a test. • Maintaining a well organized binder all year, is vital for helping you get ready for high school!!! • American history teachers require that students decorate and prepare their 8th-grade binder in the same manner (see requirements below). You will orally present your binders by explaining or describing the various pictures, clippings, drawings. Presentations will be scheduled in advance by your teacher. • Photo credit: http://students.cis.uab.edu/tsj89/all_about_me_rainbow.gif

This will be the front side of your history binder. YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO FIND & SAVE PICTURES TOMORROW IN THE LAB. • Students will decorate the back side of their history binder for easy identification of themselves and their particular class (…just in case you misplace your history binder). • Students will write or type up a short constructed response (SCR) paragraph/script for their oral presentation. Must be at least three paragraphs in length (5-7 sentences each). • The SCR should focus on your story. What are the things about you and your family that you believe are most important? • What historical events are significant to you and why? Have you or any family members been a part of any significant historical events? • Photo credit: http://www.profilebrand.com/graphics/category/about-me/4114_yup-its-all-about-me.png
