TOP TIPS ...For Getting Organized in the New Year

I GIVE MY STUDENTS A COPY of the objective for each lesson. My objectives are written in the following format: "By the time you finish class today you will be able to...." Each objective is followed by one or two supporting facts that will be covered in the lesson. When it comes time to study for the tests, students use these sheets as review tools.

I STARTED LETTING my high school science classes know what we would be doing each day of the present week. I type up a Monday through Friday list and briefly include what's on tap each day- experiments, quizzes, test, when homework is due. They know what to expect and are more readily prepared each day.
