What a Waste

A new page every day. Tree-killer. It may seem like a waste to some or many of you, but we are developing some organizational skills. A basic rule to live by is to begin with a new page (side) every day. If you get a handout, plan for its inclusion somehwere - if you want to staple/tape it to a page you are also writing on....fine, but then you are actually hiding information. Every page will either be a continuation of a previous page or the beginning of something new. Something new will always start on a new page, with a clear page title. Trust me - it will help you keep track of everything.

AS (& AP): Whenever there is some down time, finish up your maps. Tomorrow, I'll give a real Castle/Middle Ages lecture. Thursday is still TBD. Friday will be a day to correct your homework, and we'll read some other primary documents.

G/E: I'll be assigning a book later this week. In class, it's about breaking bad habits and getting you to focus on not wasting time by getting your work done...in class. Textbooks are due by Friday.
