Okay so I have given you some basic tips. Now lets get to the main key points of middle school. I'm not going in any specific order. I'm just going to go with what ever I think of and what ever you comment about!
9) projects!!!
When you get a project, DO NOT PROCRASTINATE! I'm totally serious about this! I am a BIG TIME procrastinator! And it's a major no no! Projects are usually worth a big part of your grade. And you don't want to mess up I them. When you hand in a project make sure it's neat and that you too your time and tried your best! Teachers get really impressed with a good project. Sometimes they might give you extra credit dates to turn in your project early, I hight suggest you take advantage! It doesn't matter how high your grade it in a class, always use the extra credit! Remember higher grades give you a higher GPA and that is great for high school!
10) group projects
Group projects are the WORST!!!! No matter who you get paired with, if you get paired with a friend, you usually end up getting distracted and don't do a good job. If you get paired up with a lazy person you have to do all the work. If you get paired up with a smart kid you end up doing nothing, which may not seem that bad, but the teacher always ends up asking questions about how much work did you actually do. And if you get paired with someone you don't know or just don't talk to, it's so awkward, you don't really know what to do so the whole time your just like "umm." I'm mean at least you hopefully get work done. I mean there really is no win win situation when it comes to class project . I mean if anything you might get a new friend, and your lucky if you even get that! I'm just warning you about them, there's not really much you can do except grow a pair of balls and just do the work and get it over with. So good luck if you have to do group projects!
11) where will you sit?
Most teachers for the first half of the year assign seats in alphabetical order. I really suggest you just get to know the people around you. I mean your gonna be sitting with them for a while! And Unless you have to sit next to your sworn enemy since your mothers womb, just say hi. It won't hurt, and they won't bite! You could make a new friend or maybe it may just be someone you can talk about the weather with, but it will help make it less awkward when you teacher pairs you up with them. Oh yea and if you do have to sit with your sworn enemy since your mothers womb, ask for a seat change, usually teachers will understand if you have a problem with a student, it saves you from trouble and make you look mature to the teacher. Which is always good.
So what do you guys think? Any one have any suggestions?comment and vote!
