Using Your Planner

What is the main purpose of using a planner?

• it is a tool that helps keep my parents aware of my work

How can you use arrows in the grades column of your planner to help track how you are progressing in each class?

• I can use arrows to compare my grades each week with an arrow pointed up if I improve in a class, and down if my grade goes down.

• I can use arrows to not have to write as much. If I have the same homework for multiple days I will use an arrow to point to the due date.

• I can use arrows to track which class I have the best grade in.

• I don't know

If you have no homework for a class, you should write (a)   in that box for the day.

Choose all that apply.
