The Homework Notebook (Cahier de Texte)

Each student should have a proper Cahier de Texte, not an Agenda. Students should make sure that the Cahier de Texte is kept clean and legible. Each assignment should be noted as follows on the correct day page and with the date when it is due.

Example

22 September English : Read Chap 7 of The Hobbit

22 September Math : Complete Ex. 3 and 4 on P. 9

1 October Science : Answer Ques. 10 and 14 on P. 5

Notice that abbreviations may be used

  • Ex. = exercise

  • P. = page

  • Ques. = question(s)

  • Chap. = chapter

These abbreviations can be used in both French and English.
Make sure that the subject is clearly underlined. Also, draw a line between each entry – use a ruler!
When you have completed your assignment, put a line through it, using a ruler.
