HOMEWORK
So
you should plan to spend at least one hour each night on homework.
Homework is set in subject lessons and should be recorded immediately
in your homework diary. Your entry should be written out in full.
For example if you simply write ‘finish exercises` or ‘do reading`
you will certainly have a problem remembering which exercises and
what reading. Below are some important guidelines:- 1. Record homework in your Homework Diary as soon as it is set. 2. Make an accurate record of the work set. 3. At the end of the school day go to your locker and pack the books you need for homework. 4. When you reach home, aim to do your homework before anything else. 5. Work in a specially prepared room with a desk. 6. Do not attempt to have TV or music in the background. You need to concentrate without distraction. Studies show that if you have music or TV in the background homework takes twice as long. 7. As soon as homework is complete pack your bag for the next day. Follow these simple rules and the task of homework will never become a burden and should be complete before six o'clock. Many pupils like to have a good rest at the weekend. A good idea is to do your homework on Friday night as soon as you return home. In this way you will have most of Friday evening and all of Saturday and Sunday for pursuits of your choice. |
