Studying in Groups!

Sticking to an agenda is important. Here’s one plan for organizing your group time.

1. First, compare your notes and review old homework. If there is something you have had trouble understanding, write down your questions about it before meeting with your study group.
2. Next, drill each other on facts you need to memorize. For example, What are the four stages of a butterfly’s life cycle? You might want to give each other practice quizzes.
3. Lastly, take the time to discuss “why” questions. For example, Why do monarch butterflies migrate?
   One way to handle “Why” questions is to make a list of the important ones you will want to review. Then divide the questions among the group. At your next meeting, have each person present a lesson about her questions.
