[quote=Anonymous]I am Title I, too.  I have my students keep notebooks/folder/binder (their choice) with a Table of Contents for all papers.  Generally two or three of the teachers on my team will do the same thing.

Anyway, I grade the "notebooks" once every 1-2 weeks.  I start the year at once a week, slowly move to twice a week and then go back to once a week when I have to retrain after things like Winter Break or Spring Break.  When I "grade" the notebooks, I check that the Table of Contents is completed and that each item is in the notebook ordered by page.  If it isn't then on our planned Make-up day, the student gets a blank page and must complete the work, which can then be checked against my Answer Key.  After that happens once or twice, the students who were lax about it suddenly become much, much better at maintaining their notebooks.  The trick is that you have to be very strict (different than mean) about it.

This technique takes time but it is worth it.  I was resistant when I joined my team and didn't do it the first year or two.  Eventually I saw the light and now I'm a convert.

Re the tests.  For my review, students receive a review sheet with questions, and they need to refer to the original doc by page number when giving an answer.  If I have for some reason collected work then I go back to double-check that the collected work is placed in the right spot in the notebook so it isn't misplaced.[/quote]
