Make sure it contains a main idea that you will explore and ‘unpack’ in the evidence and analysis c) Can I choose specific, detailed evidence to support my topic sentence? d) Can I explain the relationship between the evidence I chose and the main idea of my paragraph? i) Is this explained using language from the question/source? e) Can I finish my paragraph with a sentence that links my main idea back to the thesis? Review Tips Give yourself enough time to review: avoid starting to review the night before. Take breaks. Avoid studying long extended hours. Your brain can only take so much at a time. Make sure to take short breaks every now and then. Organize your materials: notes, summaries, charts etc. created in class, and readings. Use Google Classroom and our Google Slides to remind yourself of our covered content. Any and all reading material from the textbook will be on Google Classroom under that day's lesson. All videos and documentaries we’ve looked at are embedded within the Google Slides. Find a quiet place to study. Try using drawings and symbols to recap notes. Review with a friend or a study group. Avoid using other people’s notes. Their brain works for them, not for you. Remember some of the note-taking skills we’ve practiced this semester: Turn headings into questions. Make visual representations of terms and ideas. Be able to apply key concepts to main ideas. Work on a concise summary of your ideas. Have specific evidence ready to use in short answers. Make tables and glossaries to organize terms. Be an active learner: ask yourself questions; think of the material out of context: and describe the key issues to your parents at the dinner table. 🤓I believe in you! You got this!🤓 Have faith in yourself. If you’ve put in the effort and worked hard, you will be successful!
