Mr. Ensey’s Language Arts Supply List

200 pages lined notebook paper

1 composition notebook- (can get 3 for 99 cents at Rite Aid!). Students, think about the ones I showed you in class. No spiral bound notebooks! Too many pages fall out of those. This will be your Writer’s Notebook. Decorate it any way you want! If possible, try to get one that has different sections. If you can’t find that kind, no big deal. We’ll divide it using Post-its.

#2 pencils, blue/black pens and colored pens for editing/revising

A packet of Post-It notes- They can either be the 4x4 or 3x4 size. Whatever color you like. We’ll use these often in reading! Again, go with the size I showed you in class!

One 2” plastic binder with pockets and space for cover and side insert. To be used for your Writing Portfolio.

One regular binder to be used for LA/SS.

12 tab dividers to organize your notebook.

100 plastic sheet protectors, top loading. To be used for your Writing Portfolio)

4 colored highlighters

You will be doing lots of work on the computer and will want a way to transfer files from your class to home and back again. Here are a few options:

1. CDR or CDRWs- fairly cheap, holds lots of files. You will need a CD burner on your home machine to work at home, burn files and than bring them to school. This is a possible option, but not as convenient or simple to use as option #2!

2. Flash Drives-Prices range from $10-$30 depending on the number of megabytes, holds LOTS of files. Easy to use, easy to transport, easy to lose, so put your name on them with a Sharpie. One of these would make your life easier in ALL your classes this year. They work on any machine that has a USB port. If you can swing it, go with this option.

If you have questions about these supplies, don’t hesitate to contact me!
