Studying in Groups!
Sticking to an agenda is important. Here’s one plan for organizing your group time.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
