How to Study For Tests(The Procrastinator Version)

It is not easy to study for tests. Especially when you procrastinate or in other words only study at the last minute. Here are some tips on ways to study, and how to stay on task.

ELA:
    For vocabulary tests I recommend writing all the words down and/or making a Quizlet. In the long run it helps a lot. 

    For reading checks, it helps to take annotations along the way, rather than scrambling at the last minute to find key points and terms. Also reading a summary of the reading on SparkNotes always helps. 

    Grammar is one of the easier parts to study for because quizzes can be found anywhere online.

Social Studies:
    Reading checks on articles or historical texts usually only include the main points. It would be the best to make a Quizlet on key terms, characters names, and dates.

Science:
    Science is a bit more difficult to study for. It requires looking back at all the course material or experiment's done so far.

Math:
    Math is the hardest. Some types of units cannot be found online easily, so it is best to review all the lessons. If material is found online then practicing with them is helpful. What I find to be easiest is writing all the main points on a small notecard. It helps to remember them.

Overall:
1. Put away all electronics or give it to someone who will keep it safe and out of your hands
2. If working on a device not school regulated, then make the window full sized. It prevents moving to games or something that will prevent you from working
3. Study with a friend if it helps you review with them(Socializing and studying 2-in-1)
4. Stay organized, keep each subject materials in one place, so you don't have to waste time looking everywhere for them
5. Take breaks every 45 minutes or so. Studying continuously is not a good idea, because it will tire you out faster
6. If you can start it right after school or as early as possible so it won't be needed to stay up late to do it.

GOOD LUCK STUDYING!!!

6th Grade

Knock, knock Who’s there? Justin Justin who? Just in time to login to school for the day. I started 6th grade in the beginning of September. Due to remote learning my classes have been taken remotely. In class we learn something new every day. I always wonder how 6th grade would have been if this global pandemic had never happened.  All of my teachers are really friendly and nice. Why did the Chromebook look so sad during math class?Because it had so many problems!! Just like that remote learning can have many problems but my teachers keep me engaged in class lessons or doing classwork. I really appreciate all of the hard work they have done to make 6th grade enjoyable. I enjoy listening to Hoot&Hollers(book talks) in ELA. In science I enjoy playing Blooklet and learning about the mysteries of light. In math I enjoy being able to understand function concepts easily. In social studies I enjoy learning about culture's, similarities and differences.  Even though, th...

One Word 2021

I find it hard to remember resolutions, and maybe it's the same for you. My teacher assigned us to choose one word that we could reflect on during 2021. My word is persistence, which means to keep on trying when things get hard. This could reflect on homework or tests. If you get something wrong, you should at least understand what or why you did it. This could also reflect on blogging or just day to day life. Failing to get a soccer goal or not hitting a game change ball in tennis. None of this means you should stop there will be other opportunities to try again. Just learning from you mistakes is what matters. Getting into an argument with a friend doesn't mean you should never talk to them. This word inspires me to try my hardest and you should too. Tell me your word of the year in the comments below!!!

The Outsiders

The Outsiders.                          Written by: S.E. Hinton.                       Reviewed by: Me                                    In school we had to read this book in second quarter. It was so good, it had many plot twists and kept me reading. I wanted to finish reading the book as soon as I started. Ponyboy was part of the Greasers. There were two big groups in the neighborhood, the Socs, and the Greasers. The Socs were rich, spoiled kids, while the Greasers were poor kids. Many times the Socs jumped the Greasers when they were walking alone. Pony's parents died in a car crash, so the only family he has left is his fun brother Soda, and his oldest brother Darry. One night Pony and another Greaser, Johnny were in the park. They meet a bunch of Socs are there. They st...
