HOW TO BE A GOOD
Group
STUDENT? 5
#1.READ DIRECTIONS AND RUBRICS
CAREFULLY
If you dont follow the directions, you wont get a good grade
even if what you do would be considered solid work on a slightly
dif ferent project. If your teacher tells you to write a seven -page
essay, and you only write five, you'll get points taken of f even if
you do a good job.
#2: LISTEN AND PARTICIPATE IN CLASS
Often, the key to success is knowing when to ask for help, and
high school classes are no exception. If you dont understand
a concept, dont wait until youve already bombed a test to get
help. Approach your teacher as soon as possible, and ask if he
or she would be willing to meet you after school to go over the
material. By doing this, you can avoid bad grades before they
happen and build a positive relationship with your teacher.
#4: DONT RELY ON YOUR FAMILY AND
FRIENDS TOO MUCH
Just reading over the material before a test won't cut it unless
you have a photographic memory.You need to actively absorb
the information, not just skim over it and hope it will stick in
your brain. Surface-level knowledge won't help you, especially
when you're dealing with open -ended questions on a test. You
should be able to recall the facts without any hints or
prompting.
#7: STUDY BET WEEN TESTS, DONT
CRAM
