How to make your year a success:

• Listen to your teacher very carefully in class.  Stay focused on the lesson.  If your friends are distracting you, sit somewhere else. You can hang out with them at lunch.
•  Review your notes the same day as the class.  Re-write the notes in your own hand.   Read the text after each class. You will remember the content so much better, and you won't find yourself cramming the night before a test.
• Ask the teacher questions.  If in doubt, find out!
