Homework: How to get good grades

Homework is a crucial supplement to the learning you will do in the classroom and, as you head towards your final exams, homework will become increasingly important.

I´ve researched for this information and I found the 6 Steps recommended by David Littlemore, that will present the way to get good grades from your homework.

Step 1: Understand the task

Make sure you understand what you have to do, and write the task down clearly so you know you will understand it when you come to look at it a few days later. If you're not sure, ask the teacher at the end of the lesson – or later if you forget!

Step 2: Work with a friend

Working with a friend can make arduous tasks more interesting, and can help you concentrate if you're working on a big project. Discussing work with a friend is a great way of helping you learn.

Step 3: Presentation

Presenting your work neatly and in a way that is easy to read will make the teacher more favourable towards it. Figure out what's going to get the marks and use your presentation to guide the teacher towards those points.

Step 4: Double-check

Read through your work, checking for spelling, grammar and punctuation. Also check that you have answered the question. For maths, check your answers with a calculator.

Step 5: Use model answers

Get hold of an example of a good piece of work that scored a high grade (ask your teacher for this). Read through it and see what kind of techniques they used and how they got the marks they did. Try and emulate these techniques in your own work.

Step 6: Read the marking

Take your teachers' constructive criticism on board, and learn from it. Next time you do a piece of work, try and put their suggestions for improvement into practice.

Good luck and for questions let comment ;))
