Study Strategies

Do you forget to do your homework?

• Keep a homework log or calendar.
• Write your assignments in the same place each day.
• Write it on a Post It and stick it in your locker.
• Check the website.

Is your participation grade low?

• Familiarize yourself with the Participation Grading Rubric.
• Stay on track during in-class assignments.
• Make sure you turn in your class work with your name on it.
• Raise your hand to answer questions, even if you aren't certain of the answer.
• Make a good attempt to answer questions if I call on you.
• Ask intelligent questions.

Are vocabulary words tough for you?

• Don't just "look it over". You can look words over for hours and not learn even one.
• Minimize distractions. Turn off the T.V. Hang up the phone. Post an away message.
• Use FLASHCARDS!!! They make it easy for you to isolate one word at a time. Also, the answer isn't visible, so you can't fool yourself into thinking that you know something that needs more of your attention.
• Write them 5 times each. Make sure you spell them correctly.

Do you just feel lost?

• Don't wait! Stay after school for After School Help (ASH).
• Ask me about a Peer Tutor. (These are hard to get sometimes, but I'll try.
