  2. So It Doesn’t Control You How does homework help you? Homework: • Reinforces what you have learned during the day. • Builds study habits that are essential in college. • Prepares you for your classes. • Helps you understand your course topics. Middle School Counseling

  3. Set the Mood Create a good study area with everything you need(for example, a calculator). If you don’t have a quiet place at home, try your school or the library. Middle School Counseling

  4. Know Where to Begin Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face them at the end. Middle School Counseling

  5. Study at the Same Time Every Day Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you’ll approach it with less dread. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time productively. Middle School Counseling

  6. Keep Things in Perspective Know how much weight each assignment or test carries, and use your time accordingly. Middle School Counseling

  7. Get More Involved Keep your mind from wandering by taking notes, underlining sections, discussing topics with others or relating your homework to something you’re studying in another class. Middle School Counseling

  8. Organize the Information People process information in different ways. Some people like to draw pictures or charts to digest information, others prefer to read out loud or make detailed outlines. Try to find the methods that work best for you. Ask your teacher for recommendations if you’re having trouble. Middle School Counseling

  9. Take Advantage of Any Free Time If you have a study period of a long bus ride, use time to review notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start your homework. Middle School Counseling

  10. Study with a Friend Get together with friends and classmates to quiz each other, compare notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start your homework. Consider joining a study group. Middle School Counseling

  11. Communicate If you have concerns about the amount or type of homework you have, you may want to talk to your family, teachers or counselors. They can help you understand how much time you need to allot for homework and how to manage your tasks. Middle School Counseling
