Tips and Tricks

First and Always

• Check your teacher’s website. Very often you teacher will post websites for help. These sites may be the best to use since they will directly relate to the assignment.

• If no resources for the assignment are given, then ask the teacher for recommendations. They may have been given in class.

• Also, be sure to check the school library page as well for resource help.
