Now that the semester is quickly coming to an end, it may be tempting to skip steps.  Don't do that! Check out these tips for going through the lessons:

• Remember that the notes you read in our course are our textbook -- when you read, read it with meaning. Take notes on the guided notes template. When you write down something you learn, it helps you remember it.
• Pre-read the directions and the rubric so you know what to look for as you go through the lessons. 
• Make connections to your life as you go through lessons -- if an example or phrase speaks to you, use it to help you complete your assignments.  
• Remember to look for the weekly vocabulary in the lessons as well. They always show up in your post-assessment!
