Week 9

This week we helped one grade 8 student study for an upcoming social studies exam. The exam is on June the 18th. We worked on definitions and basic facts. This social studies unit covers the main ancient groups in history including the Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, and the Chinese Dynasties. We also covered the time of the Homo Sapiens, Homo, Erectus, and the Homo Habilis. We looked over the tests and projects from those units and made corrections to some of the answers she got wrong. We also talked about organizing her time during these busy weeks leading up to exams, since she was worried about completeing all her project and finding time to study. We taught her to set time aside each night for studying so that the work won’t pile up and cause her to be stressed.
This mentoring session was very successful and we could tell she benefited from this time because she left less stressed and more positive.
