 The Homework Assignment
Tips on how to do your homework effectively and
efficiently. |
| 1. The homework assignment is given
to reinforce your daily work or to prepare you for the following day.
|
| 2. Read the assignments fully.
|
| 3. Answer any questions you already know.
|
| 4. Do the hardest assignment first.
|
| 5. Think positive! Don't get overwhelmed before
you start. |
| 6. Get organized! Don't get the papers mixed
up. Use a notebook and enter the work in sections as you finish them.
|
| 7. Don't just scan, read the assignment !
The headings and subheadings are clues to the information. |
| 8.
If the book belongs to you, underline the important parts with a
yellow highlighter. You can also write notes on the side of
the page. If the book does not belong to you, make notes on a
separate sheet. |
| 9. Most public schools frown on you marking in their
text and it may cost you money |
| 10. Periodically take a short brake, yawn,
stretch and come alive. Sometimes leaving a question for a short time helps.
|
| 11.
Ask for help from your parents, older brother sand sisters, and
classmates. Don't be shy. Check the web sites provided on this web
page! |
| 12. Turn the assignment in on time. |
| 13.
If sports or after school work is preventing you
from your homework, think seriously about your priorities. If work is hampering
you, consider changing your hours getting a different more flexible job
or not working at all. Adult education may be the answer, if work
is vital. Classes are more flexible and you might find students just like
you. Talk to your coach, if sports is the problem, and see what is
available (some schools actually offer tutoring sessions).
