Study Buddy Contract
Time: Study 10 minutes each day & use any combination of the materials listed below.
Study Options:





Notecards
o Using your notecards, have your buddy shuffle the cards. The buddy holds up the
definition/picture side towards you and you guess the word. Make a right/wrong pile with the
notecards. When finished, pick up and practice with the “wrong” pile at least 2-3 more times.
 If you have extra time, flip the cards over so you are looking at the term and tell your
buddy the definitions.
Notes/Spiral
o Using your notes, have your buddy read definitions to you and you give them the correct
answer. Flip it for round 2, so the buddy gives you the term and you give them the definition.
o Using your notes, have your buddy ask you for 2-3 examples of each vocabulary term. If not
listed in your notes, explain to your buddy why the example you gave is correct.
Sponge Questions
o Using your warm-ups, have your buddy ask all or part of the question and you provide the
correct answer. Your buddy can use post-its, pennies, etc. to help temporarily mark wrong
answers on the sheet. Review the answers with your buddy and try again.
Textbook
o Using your textbooks, have your buddy ask you questions from any section or chapter review.
Explain to your buddy how/why your answer is correct. Also use yellow and italicized
vocabulary terms as you would with your notecards or notes.
Quizzes
o Using your quizzes, have your buddy ask you questions from your quizzes, making sure to use
questions and answers that have been corrected.
