Summary Sheets are one page summaries that show the relationships between important points of a chapter, unit or course and allow you to review quickly to prepare for tests, quizzes and exams.

Guided Practice   Take a blank sheet of paper, in the middle place the name of the course you are in and start listing all you know about the course. When you run out of new ideas, take a minute and look over ideas already on the page and fill in any more ideas that come to you.

When you can not think of any more ideas, look over the sheet and see the amount of information you have remembered.

Apply the Strategy   Do the above activity for each of your courses and when you are not able to list more ideas, look at your course outline for ideas, go over your notes, check your cards and ask others for ideas.
