We had the chapter 2 Summative Assessment yesterday, and I am happy to say that there were, by far, more A's on this test before corrections were done than on any other test! There were a very high number of P's as well! Your hard work and focus on "plussing" your answers is paying off!!!!
We begin our investigation into the cardiovascular system next. Continue actively reading, but be sure you are making life easy for yourself with "VAPA"
1. Begin each section with Vocabulary
2. Read the Abstract of the section at the end of the chapter.
3. Preview the section by looking at the pictures, reading the captions, headings, and questions.
4. Actively read the section, taking detailed and organized notes.
Many students are struggling because they skip straight to number 4, actively reading. Without doing 1-3, you are making learning harder for yourself. Vocabulary, Abstract, Preview, Actively Read! Then, maybe some more vocabulary followed by a focused effort on vocabulary before reading the section and/or participating in class. YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT THE WORDS MEAN!
Also, be sure to have the section review questions completed BEFORE we go over them in class.
