17. Some basic rules for the lesson. Survive HSC

18. Examine your attitudes • It is time to grow up now. • Examine your attitudes to school and to teachers carefully. Do they need adjusting? • People who work hard do well. • Rules are a chore, but they are there for very good reasons – so follow them.

19. Change your thinking • The subjects you study should affect the way that you think about the world. • Subjects are known as disciplines because they discipline your mind to think along certain modes of thought. • Get into the hang of applying insights from lessons into your real life – and vice versa.

20. Effort • You should work at your own success harder than your teacher does. • You will get out of a subject the amount of effort that you put into it. • The more time you spend on it, the more relaxed you will be and the more successful you will become.

21. Set personal targets • The person who benefits from your learning is you … • Don’t leave it to other people to organise your work for you. • Decide what it is you want to gain from the course and then organise yourself to achieve whatever is needed for personal success.

22. Independent learning • Whatever is set in class is the basic minimum needed. • Do whatever it is you have been set without putting it off or making excuses. • Try and do a bit more as well so that you are learning for yourself and not just because your teacher told you to.

23. Using books • You are learning the norms and values of literate and educated people. Behave like these people. • Buy books • Read books • Add notes to books. • Go to the LRC and photocopy books. • Think about the ideas in books.

24. Be prepared for lessons • Make sure that you have been to the toilet, are not hungry, have had a drink and have slept enough. • Get your books and notes sorted the night before. • Bring a pen and paper to lessons. • Check where you are on the topic and refresh your memory of the previous lesson. • Turn your mobile off.

25. Work planning • You will forget most of what happens in lessons. This is natural and inevitable. • Revise from the beginning. • Set aside time for revising and reviewing. • Plan your time carefully so that you can do this as well as your set work.

26. Organising your learning • Buy folders and dividers of different colours. • Look at the schemes of work to see what topics are being covered. • Keep all notes and exercises together. • Use the subject specifications or your teacher’s scheme of work as a guide to what you should know. • Cross reference notes.

27. Revision cards • Buy some index cards and index files from a stationer. • Develop a set of revision cards with a glossary of terms and another for lists of studies as you go along. • You will find these invaluable for revision and for organising yourself.

28. Notes • The purpose of notes is so that you will read them and revise from them. • Make sure that they are neat and well ordered or you won’t have a clue what it was that you did in lessons. • Use colours, space them out and make sure that they are clear and easy to understand.

29. Be nice to the teacher • If there is a problem, let your teacher know straight away. • Most problems can be solved very easily. • They usually arise from lack of confidence or very basic misunderstanding. • Be grown up – go and have a chat with someone and get the issue sorted.

30. Attendance • Poor attendance demotivates both you and your teachers. • It affects the learning of the whole class who will have to spend time recapping material that you missed. • You will lose the plot in lessons very quickly if you don’t attend. • Go to all of your lessons. • When you are in the lessons, stay on task and concentrate.

31. Study buddy • You cannot and will not learn everything there is to know, so be selective in what you learn. • Spend as much time as possible with a study friend and share some of the tasks. • Spend time together discussing ideas and the content of lessons. • Share notes and essay planning sessions.

32. Current affairs • Try and know what is going on in the world. • This is the purpose of PSE and General Studies lessons. • Read newspapers. • Watch the news. • Talk to people. • Listen and think about what it is you have learned.

33. Relax • Build in some time for relaxation and fun. • Do sport, go out and do your job if you have one. • Get the fun thing into perspective – you have the rest of your life for fun so prioritise work. • Being a student at college should be when the real fun begins!

34. Thanks !!!! • Thanks you all and once again well done on your GCSE’s results and welcome to Haringey Sixth Form Centre • Have a fantastic AS Sociology year !
