Working Together Helps Everyone

You may have noticed that when you are explaining something you've learned to a friend, you begin to understand it better yourself. This happens because, when you explain an idea, you need to think more deeply about it.

The same principle makes study group useful. Studying with others in a small group is helpful because you:

·      Think out loud.

·      Share ideas.

·      Learn from one another.

In a effective study group, you and other students hash out lesson materials together explaining-----concepts, arguing about them, figuring out why one person’s answer differs from another’s----and in the process, you most likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.

Choose the Right!!!!
