When planning your study timetable take into consideration what times you work best (morning, afternoon or night), what times you get up and go to bed, your regular commitments (work, sport, travel times, family gatherings etc), and relaxation and exercise time. If you don’t plan for these things, a study timetable will not work. Re-evaluate your study timetable at least once a term.

TERM PLANNER

Use this term planner to mark in important dates – topic tests, assessment tasks due etc. You can see then at a glance when your busy times are coming up – and PLAN for them. (Fill in the dates for yourself)

Week

Study/homework includes these activities:

• Activities set by your subject teacher • Revising work covered that day • Reading ahead in the text book • Research and reading for an assessment tak • Working on an assessment task • Reading a novel • Studying for a test • Creating a mind map of key information about a topic • Making study notes to prepare for exams

HOW MUCH STUDY/HOMEWORK SHOULD I BE DOING?

• In year 11 you should be doing 2 hours 30 minutes per day • In year 12 you should be doing 3 hours per day

IDEAS ON HOW TO PRIORITISE YOUR HOMEWORK/STUDY

1. Do the most important and urgent things first. Look at your goals to make sure you are doing what is important

2. When is it due? Organise your tasks according to when they are due 3. Rank your tasks in order of priority 4. Split big tasks into smaller sections and complete them over a few sessions 5. Do hard things first. Study those subjects you find difficult first, rather than leaving them until last.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I GET STUCK?

WEEKLY HOMEWORK AND STUDY RECORD

On the next twenty pages, you will find space to record all the homework and study you do each night.

I AM STUCK

Take a break! Do something different, then, have another go.

Check for information in your diary, workbook, notes.

Pick out the key words to help you – ie – explain, show, list…

Would a brother or sister be of help? Or, another family member?

Brainstorm your ideas

Look at your past work – it may have some clues to help you now

Form a study group or attend after school tutorials

Ask the teacher to help when you go to school the

Ring / email / text a friend

You should use this every night to fill in:

• Subjects in which you did homework or study • The task you worked on (You may use this as a homework notebook if you wish) • Time spent on each task (be honest!) • Set work (Was the task set by your teacher?) • Own work (Was it your own work or study?) • Parents signature (They do like to see what you are doing!)

You may show this to your Year Advisor when you feel the need. For the first few weeks, it is a good idea to show it to your Year Advisor every week, this will help you set up good study habits.

I would strongly suggest, every Monday during roll call you add up the hours completed from the week before and enter this information into the Total Hours Table. This is a good time to evaluate your homework/study for the week before, and plan for the coming week.

Here are a few things to remember as you do your homework/study:

1. Yes! You can include homework/study done during School Study periods in your total homework/study hours for the week

2. Balance your homework and study. You should have done at least one study/homework session for each subject by the end of the week

3. Don’t fall into the trap of spending most of your time on your favourite subject – it is your weakest subject that needs the most time

4. Do your work sooner rather than later. If you do it the day it is given, you have time to ask for help if you need it.
