1. Ensures that you have gone through all the material of the unit, and reviewed it (it’s been a while, you’ve probably forgotten some of what we have covered)
2. Allows you to identify what you think is most important, and put yourself in the role of teacher (you’d be surprised how often the questions you create for a study guide are often the EXACT ones on the quiz!!)
3. Provides you with a single document that you can reference when you are studying for the quiz
Can be a combination of outline format, Q/A, flashcards, graphic organizers.
