Exam Study Plan


To study for this exam, I am going to make a study guide.  I’m going to start studying Wednesday the 16 because that is the last day we can learn anything new at school.  Each day I will study a different topic and day after day my study guide will form until the day before, when I will review everything that I did the days before.  I think that this is a very good technique, and that many of you reading this should take this method into consideration.  As for time, I don’t have a set time.  I will work until each task is completed for the day. 
Wednesday – Literary Analysis:
I’m going to go over our notes on this, and since Dr. D said, “write a literary analysis essay that synthesizes your thinking about the reading we have done this semester and year.  So you may want to begin thinking about connections you can make between the units we have studied and conclusions you can draw.” I’m going to start thinking and write ideas of what to write. From my notes, I will take important information and put what it important in my study guide.  I will also include my ideas and connections for my literary analysis in my study guide.
Thursday – Research:
I will look over the qualities and notes of research papers in my Norton book.  I will take the information that I found in there to put in my study guide.  (If we get our tests back, I will look over that too.)
Friday – Nervous Conditions:
I will go over my reading guides, theme, character, and other important things like that.  Again, If we get our tests back, I will go over my test.  I will also review irony, symbolism, etc in the book. 
Saturday – Poetry:
I will type up a list of terms for my study guide that we learned, go over my poem book, and test. 
Sunday – Macbeth:
For Macbeth, First I will go over all my drama notes, and make sure I know those.  I will also go over activities and homework that we did, and review each scene and what happened. 
Monday – Since it’s the day before all of our exams, I will just review everything, and it won’t be very stressful because I will for the most part know everything since I have taken a day to study each thing, and now all I have to do is put everything together and review.
