Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers
This may not work for everyone, but it works for me. I've been diagnosed ADHD. One thing I do is to do some exercise before I start to study. I do things like sit-ups and push-ups. Sometime I take a fast walk. Then I'm ready to study. It also helps you stay in shape.

I always try to set my goals for the day. It's not compulsory that I do a particular task at a particular time. I schedule gaps between difficult subjects. I have a proper diet so that I don't feel lazy.

Budgeting Activity
In these troubled economic times, a good social studies activity is to have your students develop plans for how they can help their families cut expenses. Have them consider costs such as transportation, food, clothing, entertainment, and other areas of expense. Students will learn about budgeting (tie in to math) and responsibility. Have the students share their plans with the class.
Return Work Quickly
Grade and return work to students as quickly as possible. The greater the interval between a student handing in and receiving graded work, the less impact your feedback will have.
