Studying Tips
1. Make sure that you have all the class notes and worksheets. Check Moodle if you are missing
something. Make sure to get all the blanks filled in on the notes. Review them carefully!
2. Complete all homework for the unit.
3. Make yourself a 1-page study guide. Review the novel and come up with questions you think might be
asked and the answer them in note-form.
4. Try to think beyond the literal concepts of the novel. Ask yourself questions that require literary
answers. Think of questions that are related to the themes and concepts discussed in class.
5. If you need clarification on a concept, see me for extra help.
