Day+7+-+Study+Strategies+-+What+is+Studying?

__Topic:__ What is studying?

__Objective:__ To distinguish how studying differs from homework. Discuss how to create an environment at home that is conducive to studying. Introduce ideas about the inability of people to multitask, present read-recite-review strategy by giving students a passage to read (perhaps a short story or a poem for ELA class). Ask students to read the story or poem. Have them recite by writing down what they remember without having them refer to the passage. Then ask them to review the passage again.

__Time:__ 1 hour

__Materials:__ Copies of a short short story or even a science passage. Paper and pen/pencil.

__Homework:__ Employ read-recite-review strategy on that evening's ELA homework.
