Part 1

Some experts say the difference between good students and poor students isn’t mainly ability. Instead, it’s how students organize themselves to use their abilities. A little organization can produce amazing results!

Get organized:

ü  Have a homework agenda or scribbler to keep track of your assignments, and                                                                                                                                      always carry it.

ü  Ask the teacher for some outside help when the classroom explanation is not adequate for you.

ü  Use scribblers to put your notes in, and keep them organized.

ü  Have phone numbers for classmates especially of one who will be your “homework buddy”. This is someone in your class who collects hand-outs and assignments for you when you are absent from school. You can borrow your buddy’s notes when return to school, and you can do the same for this friend.

ü  Ask questions when you are unsure of something

ü  Pay attention in class as it is very to let your mind wander. Take notes, concentrate on what is being said; it will be easier to absorb the information being presented.

ü  Keep your bookshelf, desk, and kitbag neat.

ü  Be prepared for each class, bringing the materials you need to class (including pencil and paper).
