[In Your Journal] Journal Set-Up Instructions

Table of Contents

The first four pages (two sheets, front and back) will serve as the table of contents for your journal.

  1. At the top of each of these pages write "Table of Contents".
  2. At the top of the left margin write "Date".
  3. At the top of the center section write "Assignment".
  4. At the top of the right margin write "Page".

Page Divider

The page immediately after the Table of Contents will serve as a page divider.

  1. Fold the page in half by folding the right side of the paper over towards the spine.
  2. Fold the top and bottom corners inwards towards the spine.
  3. Fold the right hand side inwards again towards the spine.
    • Do not fold the paper in to the spine.
    • Press the paper as flat as possible.
Do not worry about getting the divider exactly perfect. The most important thing is that it folds as flat as possible.

Page Numbers

After the divider, begin numbering your pages in the outside corner.

  1. Right hand pages will be numbered in the top right.
  2. Left hand pages will be numbered in the top left.
  3. Your first page number should be "00". Number through page 10 for right now.
