4. Prepare For Your Next Lesson

Now that you have done everything necessary about your last lesson, its time to prepare for your next lesson. How do you do that?

First, find out what topic you will be learning in your next lesson. If you have a lesson schedule, refer to it. Otherwise, you can always ask your teacher at the end of each lesson.

Next, read up on the topic before you attend the next lesson. You can read about the topic in your textbook, from any book in the library, or from the Internet. Read as if you are reading a storybook, a magazine or a newspaper. Remember: you are reading about the topic just to get some background idea. Its okay if you dont understand everything that you read at this point. Once you attend the next lesson, you will find that it will be easier for you to understand whatever your teacher is talking about, as well as whatever you have read about the topic.

Then, in class, you can focus your attention on writing notes on the areas of the topic that your teacher emphasizes.
