2. When a teacher gives you an assignment with a due date what do you to remember it?

Write the due date somewhere on the assignment page and put that page somewhere that I'll see it.

Write it in my assignment notebook or electronic calendar and make a habit of checking it each night to see what homework I have to do.

I'm good at remembering things, so I just make a mental note to do the assignment before it's due.

Write it in an assignment notebook or electronic calendar and hope that I'll remember to check it later to see what homework I have to do.

3. Which of the following best describes you when it comes to bringing the supplies you need (paper, pens, pencils, books and folders) for whatever class you're in?

I always have the supplies I need.

Once in a while I forget something, but usually I'm prepared.

If I don't have the stuff I need I just ask my neighbor if I can borrow it or ask the teacher if I can run to my locker and get the thing I forgot.

If I don't have the stuff I need I just don't participate in that activity.

4. When a certain unit has ended in a class, what do you do with the materials for that unit?

By the time the unit ends, I've probably lost half the materials anyway. Whatever I do still have I just keep in my backpack until the end of the year.

Probably I'll just throw them away unless the teacher tells me to keep them.

I have a file box or drawer at home where I keep all the materials I'm not using on a daily basis in class. That way they're not taking up space in my binder.

I'll keep them in my binder and bring them to class every day until the teacher tells me I can get rid of them.

5. Which of the following best describes what happens when a teacher asks you to take out a handout that he or she gave you in class the day before?

I pull out the pile of papers I've received so far in that class and sift through them until I find the one I need.

I pull out the folder or binder for that class and take out the handout from where I put it the day before.

I raise my hand and ask the teacher for another copy because I don't feel like searching for it and know I probably won't find it anyway.

I spend ten minutes searching through my backpack; when I finally find the handout it's crumpled and I've missed half of what the teacher has said because I've been busy searching.
