How Can I Improve My Grade?

Before you ask, check this list:

1. Are you doing your homework and assignments on time?

2. Do you double-check your work for mistakes?

3. Do those assignments get turned in on time?

4. Do you ask appropriate questions in class?

5. Do you seek assistance before school or during study hall?

6. Do you study for tests/quizzes (more than one day in advance)?

7. Do you take notes on what you read and what we discuss in class?

8. Do you review those notes?

9. Is your binder organized so it's easy to find materials?

10. Is your social studies folder organized so it's easy to find what you need?

11. Do you truly read the textbook?

12. Do you use a dictionary or thesaurus when you don't understand words?

13. Do you use your class time wisely? If you finish early, do you go back and review?

14. Do you practice answering questions on your own?

15. Do you take part in extra credit when it is available? Remember, extra credit is not offered on an individual basis!

TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR RAISING YOUR GRADE!!!
