Strategies for Completing This Course Organize your materials and work area before you begin: Student Module Booklets, textbook, notebook, journal, dictionary, thesaurus, pens, pencils, and so on. Make sure you have a q uiet area in which to work, away from distractions. Many of the learning outcomes that you need to be able to demonstrate in English Language Arts 9 i nvolve your skills in working with others. Therefore, you’re encouraged to work with a p artner throughout this course. In the activities that you will do in each section, you’ll often encounter instructions asking you to work with a p artner or in a g roup. While it is p ossible to do much of this work on your own, you’ll likely get much more out of it if y ou collaborate with others. Your partner can be a f riend, classmate, or family member. You don’t need to work with the same partner all of the time. Work with anyone who is available when you need a p artner. If y ou’re having problems arranging for a study partner, contact your teacher. Look for the Going Further icon in the margins. This icon signals optional enrichment material. Going Further may provide opportunities for you to further investigate or research a topic or concept that you have explored in the activity. Going Further may also give you a chance to apply your knowledge and skills in a p ractical way. Glance over the Going Further materials that you’ll encounter from time to time. If the material interests you or if y ou feel it provides information that’s new to you or would help you learn something that had been giving you trouble, spend some time on the Going Further. If the Going Further doesn’t interest you and you already know all of the material presented, you may choose to ignore it and carry on with your other work. To achieve success in this course, be sure to read all of the directions carefully and work slowly and systematically through the material in the Student Module Booklets. Remember, it’s the work you do in the Student Module Booklets that will prepare you for your assignments. Try to set realistic goals for yourself each day; and when you’ve set them, try to stick to them. Do your assignments regularly, and don’t forget to review and proofread your work before sending it to your teacher. Careful work habits will greatly increase your chances for success in English Language Arts 9!
