This study folder is an aid to help you memorize key words/terminologies and definitions. To use this guide simply write the missing word(s) in the empty spaces within each sentence. Some definitions require more description which may need to be in the form of a sentence defining the word(s). Some sections of the chapter ask you to draw pictures and label them. You will need two manila file folders to make your Study Folder. To assemble the Study Folder, begin by cutting out each Chapter Page section along the line labeled CUT HERE then glue that cut out page onto one of the sections of your manila folder. Use the front and back of the tri-fold folder. Some pages have Note Flappers and some have Book Flappers associated with them, and these flappers will be cut out individually. Simply match the TAB number or LABEL on the Note/Book Flapper with the TAB number or LABEL on the chapter page. There are some Note Flappers that STACK on top of each other in some chapters, and these will be labeled as such. This kit contains the Student Note Pages and a Teacher’s Answer Key. Chapters 1-5 will be glued onto one folder and Chapters 6-10 onto the second folder. Each tri-fold folder will provide FIVE sections to glue the Chapter Pages onto. A narrower Study Folder cover sheet is included and can be used by the student as the cover for either of the two folders. The cover can be cut out and glued to the front section of either folder. Remember this is YOUR personal Study Folder. Make as many notes in it as you like. Have fun learning!

Open your manila folder flat.
