[nabs-l] difficulties in highschool

[kcj21]

Hi Ana and all,

           As previously stated, I find check lists to be very useful. High school can be very demanding, but I find that time management is the key. Try to work on your homework as soon as you get home from school and pay attention to how much time you spend just relaxing. As far as understanding class readings, I recommend reading the plot overview on Sparknotes or a similar site before beginning the book. This way you will have an idea of the characters and key events. If you aren't already obtaining your books in an audio format , I suggest finding your books on Bookshare, Learning Ally, or , if it's old enough to be in the public domain, (Shakespeare, Chaucer,etc.) Librivox. com is an excellent resource. In regards to understanding your assignments, you may wish to discuss the directions with your teachers after class or as I believe your native language is Spanish, you could have the students who normally tutor students taking Spanish to assist you.

Good luck,
Kaley

guys highschool is so difficult.there is a lot of homework and is very
difficult to organize myself, plus bessides homework I need to help my
host family with house chores and to cook. and then sometimes I don't
understand very well what does the teachers want us to do like the
assigments that we have to do and this week we started a book in
american literature class that I don't understan any of it. I am
afraid that if I do not organize myself better and if I don't
understand class asigments I won't make it through college. any
suggestions on how to organize myself better and on how or what can I
do in order to understand better teachers asignments and class
materials? thanks
