Materials List for English Classes:

Materials to bring daily:

• Three-ring binder for various handouts and lined paper. I strongly suggest a binder system of organization because of the volume of handouts you will be responsible for keeping throughout the year.  (You will not turn in your binder, so you can use your A-day or B-day binder in my class).
• A single subject notebook or composition style notebook for a journal. I will pick these up every few weeks, so they cannot have other subject materials in them. I will not accept folders, papers stapled together, or binders. Don’t buy a fancy journal; you can get a great notebook for a journal for under $1.
• Four to six highlighters or map pencils in various colors for critical reading (we’ll use these almost daily).
• Your McNeil ID for computer and library use (school policy dictates that you carry an ID at all times).
• Pencils or blue/black pens for class compositions. (You can take class notes in any color ink you wish).  Plenty of paper for daily use.
• A self-selected Silent Sustained Reading (SSR) book. Please see additional handout for information on SSR.
• Unless given prior notice, you do NOT need to bring your English textbook to class! Please keep it in a safe place at home---they cost almost $60 to replace. You will need to refer to it for homework.
