1) 5 single subject notebooks 2) I would consider getting both, cause you don't know the amount of work that you're going to be getting. But I would use the binder as the main holder for the folders. So each folder would be for a certain class then you can put your work in the folders, but also put the folders in the binders.
Also if you have regular paper, you can put that in the binder too. 3) I would consider doing it this weekend.
1) 5 single notebooks. You'll most likely need one for every subject and sometimes teachers would collect the notebooks to check them. So if you have other work from another class in a 5 subject nb then that would be a problem.
2) Some teachers ask for binders others ask for folders. I suggest a binder cause it has more capacity than a folder. But you should also buy a couple folders to stay organized.
3) i'd buy the basic supplie now while they're on sale and just buy whatever else you're teachers tell you to buy later cause you wouldn't want to buy something you wouldn't need. If you have like a walmart where you live, they have cheap notebooks and binder paper runs out quick! So yeah just buy the basics now cuz they won't be as cheap as they are now any other time of the year.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
