Take Control of Homework

So It Doesn’t Control You

Part 3

Take Advantage of Any Free Time

If you g=have a study period or a long bus ride, use the time to review notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start your homework. Flash cards are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle, and are a marvelous tool to help you learn and remember anything. Punch a hole in the upper left corner if each index card and connect the stack or your flash cards with a ring. Then the cards are bound and not flopping around. Flash cards bound like this act like a small book with pages. You can even have separate ringed stacks for each subject. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO REMEMBER, PUT IT ON A CARD.

Study with a friend

Get together with friends and classmates to quiz each other, compare notes and predict test questions. Consider joining a study group.

Communicate

If you have concerns about the amount or type of homework you have, you may want to talk to talk to your family, teachers or counselors. They can help you understand how much time you need to allot for homework and how to manage your tasks.

What I did during my break

I didn’t really do anything during my break. I spend most of my time at home cleaning and doing my vacation homework. I have to clean all the house because everyone goes to work. I was home alone most of my break. I also went to my aunt’s house to visit my grandma. I had a lot of fun on Christmas Eve and New Year Eve. We went to my aunt’s house and I spend most of the time with my nephew. I ate so much during my break. I probably gained a lot of weight.

My friends and I were planning to go ice skating but we didn’t because two of my friends were hurt. Instead we went to go eat at wingstop and we had a lot of fun. Every time I’m with them is just laughter.
