How You Can Help Your Success Remember to keep up on project work have a space to work in that is focused. Use your agenda to know what work you need to do and plan time to complete it. Have a peer, parent or other teacher look at your work before the due date. Peer and self critique work with a discerning eye for criteria. Talk to me before a pre-arranged absence, including sports commitments. Encourage yourself to do your best!

The things that get in the way of success: Not turning in work – Being confused and not asking for help. – Not being organized or aware of due date – Socializing leading to inefficient use of class time and not coming in to finish projects after school. – Breaking the rules – especially safety issues!
