best fits each of the numbered blanks.
You can do a few things to make homework less stressful. First, be sure you understand the
assignment. Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, and don’t be afraid to ask
questions about what is expected. It is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after
class than to struggle to remember later that night! If you want, you can also ask how long the
particular homework assignment should take to complete so you can plan your time.
Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have
libraries that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done. The more
work you can get done in school, the less you will have to do that night.
Third, pace yourself. If you don’t finish your homework during school, think about how much
you have left and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most middle students
should have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you will
need to devote more time to homework.
No one is expected to understand everything, and maybe you need some help. The first place to
turn for help is your teacher. But what if you don’t feel comfortable with your teacher? If you are in
a big enough school, there may be other teachers who teach the same subject. Speak to other
teachers directly and you may be in luck. Sometimes it just helps to have someone explain
something in a different way. Moreover, you might also be able to get some help from another
student. If there is someone you like who is a good student, think about asking that person if you
can study together.
