Group 2, practice - to become self-reliant, self-motivated and an active learner who takes charge of your own learning.
Today, you are learning to make a timetable and use it to complete today's learning tasks. You are learning that there are must dos every day, and they are the tasks you need to fit into your timetable every day. Spending an hour on Spelling City games isn't using your time wisely, because, by doing that, something else will miss out being done. You need to learn how to fit all your tasks into a day, without missing anything out. Copy today's timetable exactly: (No Tables)

What is your favourite way of learning? - eg how do you best learn your basic facts? - by saying them over and over again? by singing a song with the tables in it? by clapping while you are saying them? by drawing pictures of them? by saying them out in a rhythm? and eg how do you best learn your spelling? - by writing the words over and over again? by writing the letters in different colours? by saying the letters and seeing them in your mind? by saying the letters in a rhythm? eg how do you best learn to do maths? by writing down your working out and your thoughts? by explaining to someone else how you did it? by drawing pictures of the problems? by using equipment to make the problem? by underlining the key words in the question? by learning facts by saying them over and over again? Learning how to do something using your hands? Learning how to do something by being creative? Learning how to do something by reading instructions? learning how to do something by listening to instructions? What task today gave you a chance to learn in your favourite way?
