The power of study groups

Working together helps everyone

you may have noticed that when you’re explaining something YOU'VE learned to a friend, you explain an idea, you need to think more deeply about it.

the same principle makes study GROUPS useful. studying with others in a small group is helpful because you:

·      think out loud.

·      share ideas.

·      learn from one another.

in an effective study group, you and other students hash out lesson materials togheter----explaining concepts, arguing about them, figuring out why one person ‘s answer differs from another’s-----and in the process, you most likely learn more than you would have studying by yourself.

choose the right!!
