Teaching Students How to Study and How to Organize their Work

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Study Skills

Provide students with a sample chart for planning their study time at home.
Encourage students to evaluate the effectiveness of their own study habits.
Teach the RAP study method: READ - ASK yourself what you read - PUT it in your own words.
Teach how to create study notes. Pre-lesson outlines make excellent study guides, providing the stimuli for fact reviews. The use of recipe cards with topics, subtopics, important facts and questions is an efficient study method.
Teach the use of mnemonic devices, e.g., categorization, chunking, visual imagery, association, diagrams, verbal rehearsal, acronyms, funny sentences, enumerating, intensity of attention - highlights, rhythm.

Organization of Work

Calendar/Timetable: Post a weekly/ monthly timetable. Record dates for completion of assignments, tests, etc.
Personal Assignment Record: Each student can record each assignment as it is given.
Task Analysis: Break major assignments into smaller sections so that students see a workable approach to the task.
Teach visualization of the finished product before starting an assignment and model 'thinking out loud' about what is needed to accomplish the task.
