  2. Welcome! Rules of the Road • Respect Everyone’s Opinions • Participate • Go the Extra Mile - it shows your teachers that you care • Take Notes • Raffle

  3. Agenda Session 1 - Learning About Learning & Organization Session 2 - Time Management & Memorization Strategies Session 3 - Handling Homework, Note Taking, & Test Taking

  4. Study Skills for School Success! This study skills workshop was created for you. It was written with the following in mind: • Students want to do well in school • Students who consistently do well in school practice good study habits and are well organized • Study skills and organizational skills do not come naturally to most people – they must be learned

  5. Time Management 1 • Use a large monthly calendar to write down ALL activities and due dates (post in School Zone) • Block off study time in advance • Turn off cell phones, IM, TV, etc. • Fix a snack - you don’t need an excuse to get up! • Have all necessary supplies in your “Student Work Area”

  6. Time Management 2 • Estimate how long each assignment will take before beginning • Do your least favorite assignment first to get it over with • Even when you don’t have much homework, spend 5-10 minutes reviewing that day’s notes • Tell yourself, “If I just finish five problems, I’ll give myself a break.” By the time you finish five problems, you may be ready for five more • Keep the finish line in mind!

  7. Memorization Strategies 1 Two Types of Review

  8. Memorization Strategies 2 Two Types of Practice WHICH IS BETTER?

  9. Memorization Strategies 3 Mnemonics • Technique that allows learners to remember information using short retrieval cues EXAMPLES: • In fourteen hundred and ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue • My very earnest mother just served us nachos (to remember the order of the planets) WHAT ARE SOME OTHERS?

  10. Memorization Strategies 4 Types of Mnemonics • Chunking (grouping items for better recall, particularly numbers) • Acronyms (using the first letter from a group of words to form a new word) • Visualization (creating pictures in your mind or on paper) • Peg Method (visualizing words literally attached to familiar objects)

  11. Memorization Strategies 5 Types of Mnemonics Continued 5. Place Method (similar to peg method, but uses numbers and a poem instead of landmarks) 6.Linking Method (linking each item to the preceding using crazy images)
