Keeper of the Book

I think this section is so important to have. I would probably have a Keeper of the book for the week not for a day. That could get a little confusing. But for the students who are not going to be there or for students that have to leave for specialties it is the best thing for some students. I will have a binder that looks like this.

I would also have a designated spot for this binder to be with enough hand outs for students that were absent and a few extra for students who lost their assignment or that wanted a new copy. I will also have the student who is in charge of the "book" for the week be assigned to do a small explanation of the assignment that was missed. Students will have to earn to be the book keeper. These students will have to have no missing assignments, also they need to use their best handwriting in this book. When I was in 7th grade my English teacher did something similar to this and I thought it was extremely effective. I was absent one day and the rule was to find the "book keeper" ask them the items that were missed and do a quick revamp of the lesson. I will make it a requirement to talk to the book keeper before an absent student can talk to me about what they missed. 

I will have some sort of sheet that looks like this "depending on the grade" Then each section will have a color and behind the correct color the assignments will be placed in that order. I think the more responsibility the students have the better they will understand the lessons.
