A Student's Guide to Using This Site: The Basics
As you begin each new unit do the following:
1) Download, print, and read the corresponding
review sheets (bring them to class - use them)
2) Become familiar with the applicable sections of the ESRT (See the 'Illustrated
ESRT'). Do the practice
questions at the bottom of each section.
3) Learn the vocabulary (flashcards first, then crossword puzzles)
4) Look at any powerpoint tutorials that may be available.
5) Do the practice test that goes with that unit and any 'interactive' reviews
that may be available.
6) Before your classroom test go back and review one more
time.
Want more? After the basics try some games, look at appropriate videos, check out photos and graphics. But do the basics first!
The links below are set up to guide you through this process unit by unit. The order of the units will vary from teacher to teacher and from school to school. Find the unit you are working on and get busy. Learning is most effective if done in small chunks over time (not crammed the night before a test). When you're tired or bored just stop. Start again when you're ready. But do start again!
Most Important of All:
> Understand the vocabulary so you'll know what the questions mean.
> Know your Reference Tables: What's in them - Where it's found - How to use what's
there.
