This Study Guide will be turned in WITH your test. You will staple any sheets of paper you used to write the answers to the things you need to know to the back of this Study Guide. DO NOT TURN IN YOUR ENTIRE PACKET!!!
Step 1:
My suggestion is to use the bulleted list below to make a study “packet” to help you study for the test. You need to know the information on the assignments on that bulleted list.
Step 2:
Get out a separate sheet of paper and start writing down the information you are supposed to know
Step 3:
Study it – Read over the questions on the study sheet and practice saying the answers to yourself; make some sort of game using first letters or pictures or colors to help you remember information; make flashcards with the question on one side and the answers on the other and practice them to help you learn… please do one of these to help you with the Study Guide
