1. We compiled all the work for one lesson together to make a notebook. This includes the setting, penmanship, outline, topic, character, vocabulary, spelling, creative writing etc. and photos of other projects. Once all of this is compiled into a report cover the student would design a nice title page to decorate the outside cover . The cover could include a drawing, a time line, collage, and title or even the setting could be used on the cover. This is a wonderful way to compile the work and is a great representation of the child's work to share with family and friends or display at a homeschool year end celebration. This makes a nice keepsake and project to save for record keeping purposes also. The chosen colour of the covers could also be used as colour codes to represent the year or a specific student. I guess this is a type of notebooking approach.

2. Some folks like to organize the SOW lessons by using a binder with tabs labelled. prayer journal, penmanship, then the books of the Bible that will be studied. Inside each of these tabs one would file the outlines, topic and character studies, commentary and setting lessons. Separate binders or notebooks can be used for the Language arts lessons, History and Science etc. At the end of the year everything can be removed and filed according to year in a large binder, adding to this each year. This seems to make a really nice filing system.

This is a chart I created after reading through my SOW Teacher and Resource Edition. It helped me to better picture how the whole program worked and when, where and how each of the subjects were to be done by the student. Perhaps it will help someone else to get a better picture of the schedule too.
