Studying Ideas

As you think about studying for the Five Themes quiz this week, here are a few pointers:

1 - Don't study for an extended period of time. Don't sit and stare at our worksheets for two straight hours. Twenty minutes should be plenty of time to review for the Five Themes.

2 - Try to link events to each theme. What activity did we do for each theme. For example, when we reviewed Movement, we went around the classroom trying to find where items originally came from.

3 - Highlight and underline your notes. What are the most important things in your notes? Each theme should be highlighted and definitions are usually important enough to underline.

Just a few pointers. Later on this year we will have online reviews that in the past seemed to help students out. Good luck studying.
