PRINCIPLES OF TEACHING 1). If you will use papers rather than folders, you have several ways to use it. One is to fold it by two’s and label the font portion. Another way is to put pieces of colored papers on the side portions of the papers as divisions.

2. After separating and putting all those labels, you sort it by year level and by semester for you to locate it easily. For high school students you can sort it by grading period. If you used folders for division you can put it in a big envelop and don’t forget to label it (used envelop is better).  If you used papers for division, you put in a folder.
