​Let’s Try This

​Recall and write a situation where you were so happy, proud and satisfied with your school performance. It can be a high rating for a well-done project, wonderful performance task, group work or even a high score in exams in the previous grade levels or quarters. Try to remember your feelings, reactions and if there were simple celebrations or acts of joy you had. Try to capture that moment as you write it on a piece of paper to be followed by your answers to the processing questions.

There are ups and downs in a student’s life. There are times that you get your desired grades and there are times that you feel you’re not making it. In the past 9 or 10 years of schooling, try to reflect and write your personal study habits. Classify them as effective and ineffective based on your experiences. Make two columns on your piece of paper for your answers like the one shown below. Write also your answers to the processing questions after.

​Processing Questions:

​1. What were your considerations in classifying your study habits?

2. Do you still have those ineffective study habits with you today?

​3. How do you intend to improve your effective study habits and overcome the ineffective ones?
