Either 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th • Also include which packet you are emailing in the subject line • Send the email once you are finished

18. Keeping your work • Once I receive your email, it will be sent to your class folder. I will open your test packet in my notability app, check and grade it, and send it back to you. Today I will just check and make sure that I received your test packet. • It is important to keep these emails and keep your packets for studying and ultimately for semester exams. These will be your study packets. • It might be a good idea to print your finalized packets to have a hard copy to study with if you choose to.
