my study strategy is i make flash cards and me and a friend go over them together by testing each other, you can also go over the cards by yourself, with the answers on the back.

I use an outline. It really helps to look at the big picture.

I like to draw on my mirror with a dry erase marker, go to bed, wake up, and study the mirror. Angela, thank you for noticing what I say.

I usually look over a package many times. I also make flash cards, make up a song, or highlight facts that I can't get into my head.

How is the google doc. working for everyone? Do you have any suggestions about how we can use this as a studying tool? Or perhaps we can start an online discussion group? Thoughts?

Reed

I usually I read through my packets and think of questions and answer them myself. Also I make copies of the notes we take in class and fill in the blanks without looking at the answers.

I usually get all of my notes together and then write the facts down on flash cards. Also my mom usually helps to quiz me on them, after the flash cards are made.

I like to study by making up songs, foldables,flash cards,and white boards.
I am a kind of superstitious person, so I use this lucky pig that Hannah gave me (thanks Hannah)and study with it next to me and then put it on my desk the day of the test. I did it for a scirnce test and did a lot better than on the test before.

Maia

If I want to study something, I look at it until I can see it in my head. It helps if you do this because if you can see what the notes look like, you can remember what they said.

Maia

I cannot get into the study guide. Can somebody help me?

Maia

2/18/2010 06:52:18 am

Since I cannot get into the study guide, I will write the words that I was supposed to do on here.

Amaterasu- Amaterasu is the name of the sun goddess who sent her grandson to concur Japan all Emporers are said to be decended from her.

Shinto- Shinto is one of the two religons that the Japanese practice. It's main belief is that their are spirits in nature called kami.

I will usually make a foldable thanks to Ms.Brownell! That's really helpful for me. I would also just love to dry Julia's idea.

Google docs was ok, you know. It could definitely work as a study guide, if you study the definitions, and what the important role it plays to the Japanese. I cannot wait until it is finish so I can study all of the definitions start to finish, no pauses.

Angela

betsy

I also like to use flash cards. They're quick and easy to do, and when you use them, you really want to finish, so you study faster.

Londyn

2/22/2010 01:31:17 am

i also go over and look at the study guide and I look over the terms and define all of the words to make sure i know what they mean.

Maia

Google docs. is sort of working for me because I can read what others said but no one is ever on here at the same time as me.

Ha! This blog keeps us from studing in isolation.
