How To Read a Textbook

     1. Read to understand-When you you are reading through a textbook, make sure you understand what the author is trying to communicate to you. When you have finished reading a paragraph, stop for a moment to think about what you just read before you move on.

    2. Take notes-As you are reading, make sure to write down important facts or key ideas. This can help you go over the information quicker when you find a need to study. 

    3. Take breaks-As you study for long periods of time, you may find that you mind tends to wander. To prevent this, take a 5-minute break every half-hour or so to keep your mind fresh.

      4. Look up information-If you find a concept that isn't explained well or you don't understand it, look up the topic online. You should find more in-depth explanations or other helpful information.

    5. Quiz yourself-Once you have finished your reading, have a friend ask you questions about the topic. This will show how much you have learned and what things you can work on.

How To Prepare For Exams

     In the month leading up to your final exams, make sure that you are caught up on all of your assigned work. Remember to take very thorough notes. Do not cram all of your studying until the last second. Instead, study from 60-90 minutes each day. Creating and completing a mock test is very helpful as well. You can do this by looking in your textbooks for questions that didn't get answered in your class. Try to complete your mock test without using your textbook or notes. Try not to multitask while you are studying. If you have any questions about what will be on the test, remember to ask your teacher for help.      https://www.stlawu.edu/academic-support/how-should-i-prepare-tests-and-final-exams

Good Test Taking Habits

     When you are about to take a test or quiz, make sure to be prepared. Study for the test beforehand will help to make sure you know the material, and getting a good night's sleep will help you to better retain the information. As the teacher is handing out the test, listen closely for any instruction, so you know what is expected of you. When you get the test, read over it first so you know how long long it is. If you read through something that you don't understand, ask the teacher about it. Make sure to stay calm and relax if you are stuck on a question; chances are that the answer will come back to you. If that doesn't work, skip over the question and come back to it later. Once you are done, look over the test again and see if you missed any questions or if you made any obvious mistakes. https://kidshealth.org/en/teens/testing-tips.htm https://quizlet.com/_8saxs8?x=1qqt&i=35bn8e https://create.kahoot.it/v2/details/30de90b7-237c-4ebd-b13e-d7c7f35ad97b

Galaxy's Most Powerful Sith Lords: Part Two

Image
  Darth Sion, Lord of Pain     Darth Sion was a Sith Lord in the time of the Old Sith Wars. He fought as a marauder under the command of Exar Kun. Eventually, Sion was killed in battle, but he did not die. He was able to use the dark side of the Force to keep himself alive, but doing so caused him unimaginable pain. He used this pain to become angry and, being a Sith Lord, used his anger to draw power from the dark side. This process practically made Sion immortal. In his wars with the Jedi, Sion survived many injuries that would have been fatal for anyone else. Exar Kun's empire eventually fell, but Sion survived and went into hiding. He reemerged at the end of the Mandalorian Wars, when a new Sith Empire was created by Darth Revan and his apprentice, Darth Malak. Sion joined the Sith Empire, but it too fell into ruin. Revan turned to the light side of the Force and killed Darth Malak. Darth Sion fled to the planet Korriban and watched as the remaining Sith ripped each o...
