We will have our exam Tuesday.
Recommended study for a literary work of this nature:
- Do not re-read the entire epic poem; however, do go through the poem and take notes over the key sections.
- For example, you can apply the SQ3R model: or Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review
In this stage, you quickly scan the epic poem and look through each key section. Read the captions, look at pictures, and write down each category of each major section of The Odyssey.
Question:
After you've surveyed and text, then go back to each category you've written down, and write questions on the left-column (like Cornell Notes style). Your questions should be things like:
How does The Odyssey begin? Your category to the right would state Homer addresses the muse of epic poetry.
Read:
Again, do not re-read the entire epic adventure, but go through each section and locate the important elements from each section. Re-read these....
Recite:
In this stage, you recite your notes, (yes outloud), going over them and over them to help with your memorization.
Review:
Ideally you should put your notes down for a day or two and let the information process. Then review it again for a couple hours the night before the test.
Additional Tips:
- Full 8 Hours of Sleep the night before exams
- Eat breakfast
- Do not stuff yourself at lunch or drink too much caffiene
- Stress Reducing Exercises: Deep breathing, positive thinking, pressure points, yoga, etc.
