ACTION PLAN
Choose one class that you are struggling with or are not doing as well as you could.
I could do better in my science class.
Now make a list of 10 ways you could improve your performance in this class
1. If I had a better grasp on the periodic table and what it means.
2. I could go to my teachers office hours and ask him to show me what in the world he was talking about in class.
3. I could ask my teacher to show me a better way to study for the quizzes.
4. I could find out exactly what information was going to be on the quizzes.
5. Take more precise notes.
6. Record each lecture and listen to them while studying.
7. While reading the chapter, I could fill out my study guide to make it easier.
8. Learn how to balance scientific notation.
9. I could turn in all three extra credit papers.
10. Look up practice tests/quizzes to help prepare for the real deal.
