Homework Help

• Manage your time by following a daily routine that includes time for homework, chores, and recreational activities.
• Find a location that is free from distractions to do your homework each night.
• Eat a meal or light snack before doing your homework.
• Use a calendar or assignment planner to record due dates for homework, tests, practices, and other events.
• Keep track of long term assignments such as projects and research papers by breaking them down into steps.
• When you know you have an upcoming test, start studying in several days in advance instead of cramming the night before the test...you will remember the information better.
• "To Do" lists are often helpful for staying organized.
• Ask for help if you don't understand or have questions about your homework; you can ask a friend, parent, teacher, or a homework help line.
• Do the most challenging assignments first, when you are less fatigued.
• Take short breaks during your study time.
