Study+or+Homework?

Study or Homework? Study is not the same as homework. It is the work you do which is additional to your homework. Study is getting ready for tests, reading extra books, revision of daily lessons and keeping your subject notes in order. It means allocating time after class to read through notes, underlining the main points and using one of your note making strategies to summarise them. Planning your homework and your study will help you break the “what’s due next” cycle. This method of crisis management leads to late nights and needless stress. A planner also helps you plan for leisure, rest and relaxation Remember you need to plan for balance To be effective your planner needs to be a complete record of what you have to do: //Allow time for unforeseen emergencies // Use colour codes or symbols when working with your planner to help distinguish between different activities. If you use colour and symbols consistently you will find after a while that you won’t need to read the entries: you will be able to see at a glance what is there.
