*** Good Old Fashion Table of Contents with page numbers.
*** Modern Clickable Titles: Table of Contents

For Homework:
These monthly units also work well for weekly homework. They work well for homework because they are exposed to the format in class---therefore, they know the expectation and are comfortable with the style. Another reason they work well is because you get to differentiate. Principals and administration love it! :)
