The writing and drawings on the folder that your teacher gives you when you take a test. The folder is between you and your classmate so you can't cheat. Writing is usually something like 'John wuz here- 2/8/10' or 'Jenna is stupid'. Drawings mostly consist of peace signs, smiley faces, and crude drawings of a man's penis.
I finished my test early so I read the folder archives and it was very interesting. I never knew Jack was gay or that Brenda is ugly.
