Suggestions for Folders

Use folders in whatever way makes sense to you and your class. Here are some examples of ways you could structure your curriculum. 

Create a folder at the top of your curriculum for "Course Resources" to collect frequently used resources, such as the course syllabus and a PDF of your Scoring Rubric.




In this example, I created folders for the novels we're reading. I then added hidden resources to store my lecture notes and powerpoints.

Another option would be creating folders for units or textbook chapters.
