Literary Terms and Improving

A number of students said something like this in their practice test reflection:
"I will brush up on the literary terms before the next time so that I can do better."

Being literary teachers, we see the importance of precise language. Don't study your flash cards, don't review last year's lists, don't go over the terms before hand...

LEARN THE TERMS! USE THEM! KNOW THEM! INTEGRATE THEM INTO YOUR STUDY OF LITERATURE!

Also remember that we studied Covey for a purpose...What is in your circle of influence? You have the ability to learn the information. If you don't take it, you are shorting yourself. If you choose to do nothing, your products won't improve.
