3M Post-It© Highlighter With Flags

If some evildoer held me captive and made me come up with one single favorite homework tool, I'd pick the Post-It© highlighter equipped with sticky note flags. Hopefully I wouldn't be punished for my answer, because this is really two tools in one.

There are a thousand ways to use those handy little colored flags. You can organize your class notes, mark a test date on your calendar, and plan a book report easily with flags. A highlighter is a great tool for marking up your class notes (but not books!). Now, just imagine how useful it would be to combine these two in one single marker.

The best thing about the combination highlighter/flag producer is that you can buy one for less that five dollars. I know you're not made of money! Check out some more ideas for using the handy tool:

• Read to Remember
• Organize With Color
• Using a Planner
• Remembering History Terms

Next time you're stocking up on school supplies, remember to include the combo highlighter/sticky flag holder. It's just so versatile and affordable. If you want, you can also order the highlighter online.
