About This Activity
Sharpen your study skills and strengthen your writing habits in this one-week workshop placed shortly before the new school year begins, to help get started in the best way! In this program, students further develop their academic habits. The habits that will be examined most closely include: writing and outlining practices, proofreading, homework and concentration habits, techniques for reading, techniques for memorizing, a short review of mathematical subjects taught in the previous school year, habits to improve time management and organization, techniques for test-taking, and effective note-taking strategies. As students examine their academic habits, they will set goals for the upcoming school year based on incorporating new study habits into their academic routines. Staff: Mr. Andrew Reed, Head of the Middle School, directs and teaches the program. Contact: Mr. Andrew Reed at The Heights School, areed@heights.edu Notes: Usual dress is a collared shirt with normal summer attire. PROGRAM ELEMENTS Summer reading assignment: Assignments will be worked on throughout the week until completed properly. The draft will be reviewed, corrected, and resubmitted until finished. Class time: Handouts and materials will be provided each day according to the habits examined. Students will be given a short break after each hour lesson in class and may wish to bring a snack and a drink.
