Survival+Guides


 * SOCIAL STUDIES / SCIENCE SURVIVAL GUIDES**

You will be required to create a Survival Guide for each Social Studies and Science unit. A Survival Guide will help you focus on key concepts that you will need to understand for assignments, and it is an excellent study tool to help prepare for upcoming tests.

**WHAT SHOULD I INCLUDE IN MY SURVIVAL GUIDE?**

* Definitions of terms * Important concepts in the unit * Examples of the “process” required to solve specific problems * Connections to real life examples

**HOW SHOULD I PRESENT MY SURVIVAL GUIDE?**

You may use the front and back of 1 piece of paper. Your Survival Guide should be typed or neatly hand written. It should be stored in a plastic page cover in your notebook.

Example of a Math Survival Guide:
