            The Three-Ring Binder
          
        
        
          
            How it works:
          
        
        
          Every time you get a new assignment—or get back an old one—you
        
        
          simply put holes in it with a three-hole punch (unless it already has holes in it) and
        
        
          plug it into the right section. Use your color-tabbed dividers to sort papers into the
        
        
          following five sections for each class. (
        
        
          
            The Right Sort
          
        
        
          , on page 34, will explain what
        
        
          each section is for.)
        
        
          
            Essential tool: the three-hole punch
          
        
        
          Every time you get a piece of paper
        
        
          that isn’t prepunched, use this to get it
        
        
          binder-ready.
        
        
          In addition to these five, feel free to make other custom tabs tailored for each
        
        
          class, like a Vocab section for English or a Lab section for biology.
