Strategies to Be Successful in Social Studies:

* EVERY night, even if it's not assigned as homework, read through and study your notes, handouts, and textbook

* When there is a quiz or test announced, study a little bit each night (do not wait until the night before to study!)

* Pay attention in class, participate, and ask questions if you have them!
