The working notebook is the daily notebook taken to class. It holds all the papers and information needed each day. Any three-ring binder can serve as a working notebook; the nylon zippered type tends to last longer. Your working notebook should contain:

  • A portable three-hole punch
  • A zippered pouch with three holes to hold highlighters, pencils, pens, clips, "sticky notes", and other small supploes 
  • A monthly calender
  • A ruler
  • Section dividers for each subject labed homework, notes. handouts, and quizzes/test
  • An assignment book
These items are avaliable at most office supply stores in a three-hole punched format so they can be easily inserted into the notebook. This is important, because if the items are not attached to the notebook, they will get lost in backpacks or left at home or school.
One working ntoebook for all of your childs classes might be too large for some students,especially if they are in high school. Two medium size notebooks with two or three subjects ine ach is alternative to one large notebook. Morning classes might be placed in one, and afternoon classes might be placed in another.
Whichever alternative note above that you choose, the important thing is that on a daily, you should date, three- hole punch and file any of his school papers under the appropriate divider for each subject, You should also note assignments in detail in his assignment book.

Information

Thanks to the internet, people have more access to more information than at any other time in history. People can instantly find information on almost any topic in the time it takes to type a couple of words and click a mouse. But we often know so little about the source of this information, including its reliability and the qualifications of the person who wrote it. If we don't know its source, information is not much good to us.
1. Do people need to know the source of any information before they use it?
I think they should know the source to tell if it is reliable or not
2. Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your postition with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

When gathering information from the internet you should always check if it is reliable or not. Using information that is not reliable may be something bad.Searching up a certain topic and later being mis informed is not good for the further future.

While writing something like a research paper or something and you need to look up a certain something it should always be from a website that is legit. Wikipedia is a great source of information and such. If you get false information you are misinforming yourself and others. Some may realize it is false or incorrect and you will get called out on it.

Checking on information throughly is a good way to tell if it is reliable or not. Getting information from any random site that doesn't seem too confirming is a good way to tell how good your information will be. Looking up something and find a the information stating the same thing is a good way to tell aswell. There are many sorts of ways to tell if information will be reliable or not before you confirm with yourself that the information is correct.

False information will bring many downsides to what you know about a topic. There might be many people who are not aware that there is false information or misleading information in the internets. This means that thee are many people out there who do no know the correct information. This is way you should always check your sources to make sure the information is reliable.

Getting reliable information is very important at the end. Knowing false information is not good. When looking up information, that is why you should always make sure its correct. It is best for every especially the person being informed about a topic.

Essay

Many colleges now offer courses in which students study television programs, comic books, magazines, advertising, and other aspects of popular culture. Critics complain that schools should not replace serious literature and history courses with such fluff. They claim that courses in popular culture present material that is trivial and inconsequential. But the study of popular culture can be just as important, demanding and instructive as the study of traditional subjects.


I don't think popular culture is as valuable as traditional literary and historical subjects. Traditional literary and historical subjects have much more meaning to what would be our popular culture today. Our popular culture doesn't focus on many things besides looks and such. Back then certain things meant much more than they do today.It has  a lot of meaning and more worthy thing to know about than it currently does.


Now a days things don't have to mean much to become popular. Any little thing that a celebrity does becomes popular. I would say back then things were for realistic and were more important. Today things do become popular but sometimes it isn't because they are good. There is a lot of bad media put out there for everyone to see and is not beneficial at all.

Learning about the popular culture, then again, is something that sometimes might be worth it. It would help us out in the future when what we are learning today would be history for people in the future. Learning about our popular culture now will help us advance in the future and to discover new things.

I would consider traditional literary and historical subjects more
 important by far than popular culture. It has more meaning to what was done and is something that has been passed down by generations. Even though popular culture now is more important to most people i think the past is something we should know about. This is because we should know why things are the way they are at the moment and why things were done and so on.

Popular culture as of right now i say would never be as valuable or worthy to the same level as traditional literary and historical subjects. Historical subjects made a big impact in the world. They also made change to what our country is like right now. This is something important to know and meaningful.
