Question

As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here's how you can create questions:

• Turn the title, headings or subheadings into question.
• Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs and illustrations -- these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.

"Character is higher than intellect."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

REFLECTION: This means that even if you are the smartest person ever you are nothing if you don't have a good personality. If you are a little on the dumber side but you have a great personality you are a greater person. Intelligence isn't anything if you are a bad person.

The Benefits of Study Groups

Group study offers other advantages in addition to gaining a deeper understanding of class material. These include the opportunity to: Reinforce note-taking. If AP Biology notes are unclear, you can ask a member of your study group to help you fill the gaps. Share talents. Each person brings different strengths, such as organization skills, the ability to stick to a task or a capacity for memorization.

Cover more ground. Group members may be able to solve calculus problem together that none would solve alone. Benefit from a support system. Members often have common goals such as good grades. Each person's work affects that of the other members, which results in making members supportive of one another. Socialize. It's more fun to study with others; the give and take makes it more interesting. And because it's more fun you spend more time studying!

"It is better to be alone than in bad company"

Anonymous 

REFLECTION: This statement says that it is better to be friendless or alone if we are only going to hang around with a bad crowd. We don't want to hang out with the crowd that does drugs and choose the wrong. It is better to be alone than hang out with future drop outs and failures. We want to succeed not FAIL!!

“So often, in our quest to be more popular and to be part of the “in-group,” we lose sight of things that are far more important.”

Sean Covey

Reflection: This statement tells us the we try so hard in trying to be “cool” that we forget about things that matter. For example while we are on our quest to become a kid that hangs out with the cool group we forget about those whom we used to kick it with.
