|
1. |
Using a recent test or assignment, evaluate your study weaknesses using the "What Have I Learned" questionnaire (Click here) |
|
2. |
Search through the websites listed in this quest for helpful hints and strategies to address the weaknesses you identified in the survey. |
|
3. |
Complete the Website evaluation form (Click Here) |
|
4. |
Use the information you have found to create a poster, note card, song, or rhyme. |
|
5. |
Share your project with a teacher. The idea here is to find ways to study that work for you and create some way of sharing that information so others may benefit. A poster hung in a classroom is one way to do this, a notebook with pictures of each strategy is another, a poem or song to represent the strategy are also ways to share. |
|
6. |
Retake the "What Have I Learned" (Click here) survey and evaluate effectiveness of strategy. Did it work? If yes, congratulations! If it did not work, go back to step 2 |
