How do you want them to keep notes? How do you want them to keep returned papers and tests? I color code classes with folders, notebooks, turn in baskets, etc. some people use a stackable tray or baskets for turn in, some use baskets on a counter, and some use a file folder system
I have been teaching only social studies in Ok for five years. I have five classes. I have crates that they keep their notebooks in because we use them at least three times a week and a shelf we keep the text book on so they don't drag them around everywhere. I have gotten my district to order Studies weekly.com. because it goes with our standards and you can set the kids up online and do the lessons on the smart board. We just order one class set of the newspapers and use them for each class. They are better than the textbook which I only use as suplimental info. Pretty cheap when you do it that way. Notebooks get filled with vocabulary words and folda lblss I got from a scholastic teachers book, actually three of them. I've been doing this for nine years though. (First three were all subjects). Just stress that History is made up of a sequence of events and cause and effect. Nothing could of happened without the thing that happened before it and it all happened in order.
