It's the beginning of a new school year, and you want to be a successful student. So you need to get off to a good start. Here are some ideas to help you get organized.
1Buy your school supplies. You don't have to spend a lot of money. There are many 99-cent stores that sell inexpensive school supplies.Ad
2Decide what kind of notebook you should buy. This is a very important decision. It is recommended to get a three-ring binder. You can open it and put paper in. You can open it and take your paper out (if your teacher asks to see your work). A three-ring binder can be organized!
3Organize your three-ring binder. Buy tab dividers. Create a tab for each one of your classes: science, math, social studies, reading, writing, and any other classes you attend. This way, you will have your notes and work from each class in a separate place.
4In each class, you will get a lot of "hand-outs," or xeroxed papers. You need to keep these papers organized too! Get a folder for each class, and label each folder. Bring the folders with you to class. Keep the handouts in the folder for that subject (this way you won't get the different subjects muddled up.) If you are more forgetful, pocket files are a nice substitute.
5Make sure that you do your homework as soon as you get home. Otherwise you are bound to get distracted or talk yourself out of it.
6When you do your homework, make sure you do it in a quiet place with little distractions. It's best to avoid working where people are talking loudly, in front of the TV, or in any other noisy area.
7If you are ever absent make sure you copy up the notes from a friend before the next class. If there is anything you don't understand, go and ask the friend you borrowed the notes from or the teacher.
8If you have a locker, make sure all of its contents are neatly organised. This way you can easily find your folders and textbooks.Ad
We could really use your help!
Rome Total War?
- Start another set of folders at home to keep old handouts. You might want to look them over again!
- At night, you can easily review the day's schoolwork.
- Every day, put your newest work in the front of each section.
- Clean out your folders once a week. Take out old handouts and make room for new handouts.
- Don't wait to get organized. Do it now!
- Remember--the key to being a successful student is starting the year off right!
