  18. 0 Good Study Skills • Get Organized – Use your student planner • Have all supplies ready before you study • Supplies to have: paper, notebooks, calculator, dictionary, pens, pencils, ruler, school books • Keep your backpack organized so you can find what you need without wasting time • Repack your bag at night to avoid rushing to find things in the morning • Don’t forget to pack your homework

  19. 0 Good Study Skills • Schedule a regular homework time for each day • Set up a study center • Choose a quiet area that is comfortable, neat, well-lit, and supplied with the materials that you’ll need. • Examples: your room at a desk, in a calm corner of the house, in a quiet part of the school, Homework Lab, or library • Avoid distractions while you study • This includes TV, loud music, windows with activity outside, phone, text-messaging, computers

  20. 0 Good Study Skills • Get a Study Buddy • Find someone in each class that you can get help from (phone number, e-mail) • Take breaks so you don’t wear yourself out • Have a snack, stretch, take a short walk • Find out what works best for you • Take Great Notes • Use Cornell Note-taking Strategy

  21. 0 What is your learning style? • Instructions: • For these questions, choose the first answer that comes to mind and circle on a, b, or c. Don’t spend too much time thinking about any one question. • Count the number of a’s, b’s, and c’s that you have and write the total number.

  22. 0 Visual Learning Style (if you circled mostly a’s) • use visual materials such as pictures, charts, maps, graphs, etc. • use multi-media (e.g. computers, videos, and filmstrips) • take numerous detailed notes or ask teacher to provide handouts • tend to sit in the front to have a clear view of their teachers when they are speaking so you can see their body language and facial expression • are usually neat and clean • often close their eyes to visualize or remember something • find something to watch if they are bored • like to see what they are learning • illustrate ideas as a picture or brainstorming bubble before writing them down • write a story and illustrate it • benefit from illustrations and presentations that use color • use color to highlight important points in text • are attracted to written or spoken language rich in imagery • prefer stimuli to be isolated from auditory and kinesthetic distraction • find passive surroundings ideal

  23. Auditory Learning (if you circled mostly b’s) • sit where they can hear but needn’t pay attention to what is happening in front • participate in class discussion/debates • make speeches and presentations • use a tape recorder during lectures instead of taking notes • create musical jingles to aid memorization • create mnemonics to aid memorization • discuss ideas verbally • dictate to someone while they write down their thoughts • use verbal analogies, and story telling to demonstrate their point • may not coordinate colors or clothes, but can explain why they are wearing what they are wearing • hum or talk to themselves or others when bored • acquire knowledge by reading aloud • remember by verbalizing lessons to themselves (if they don’t they have difficulty reading maps or diagrams or handling conceptual assignments like mathematics)

  24. Kinesthetic Learning Style(if you circled mostly c’s) • need to be active and take frequent breaks • move around to learn new things • work at a standing position • chew gum while studying • dress up your work space with posters • speak with their hands and with gestures • remember what was done, but have difficulty recalling what was said or seen • find reasons to tinker or move when bored • rely on what they can directly experience or perform • activities such as cooking, construction, engineering and art help them perceive and learn • enjoy field trips and tasks that involve manipulating materials • sit near the door or someplace else where they can easily get up and move around • are uncomfortable in classrooms where they lack opportunities for hands-on experience • communicate by touching and appreciate physically expressed encouragement, such as a pat on the back

  25. 0 Learning Styles • 3 different Learning Styles • Visual Learners • Learn by seeing and looking • Auditory Learners • Learn by hearing and listening • Kinesthetic Learners • Learn by touching and doing • Keep your learning style in mind when you are organizing and studying
