It is common for students to say they do not get their work done because they cannot focus. There is plenty of time to get things back on the right track and here's where you cohort team can help. So here is what you need to do:
- Check Synergy for missing assignments or zeros.
- Use a "Missing Assignment" sheet for each class to prioritize these assignments. You may stop by the Freshman Academy to get "Missing Assignment" sheets or click on the link to print your own.
- Do your current assignments first and then your missing assignments.
- Your goal--two missing assignments per class each day.
- Use your daily study schedule to help you focus and keep track of your time.
- As you turn in a missing assignment, be sure to mark it off the Missing Assignment sheet.
- Send your teacher a polite email to tell them the name of the assignment and the date you submitted it.
- Contact Mr. Green for help.
WRITE DOWN YOUR MISSING ASSIGNMENTS
Come by the office to get copies of this sheet, or click on it and print your own. Either way, It is important to write down your missing assignments in order to keep you focused. With the assignments already written down, you don't have to keep switching screens to find out what to do next. This sheet also makes it easier to get started on your next assignment when you have been away from the class for a while.
