Are Agendas Important In Middle School?

The biggest difference between middle school and elementary school is the fact that you have more than one class, more than one teacher, and more than one homework assignment due at different times. In this post, I will talk about homework, priorities, and planning.

  One the first day of school, you will get something called an agenda(or you teachers will give you a supply list and you have to buy your own) and it has dates and under it, there are about 15-20 blank lines. And guess what they are for? WRITING HOMEWORK! For me, my agenda is one of the most important things in my backpack. It is a MUST HAVE for middle school. Since you have six classes, there is now way that you will remember all of the homework for each class by the end of the day, so use that agenda and write it down! Star or write in red pen the important things due the next day, big projects, and test dates. The agenda is all yours so use it to your advantage!

  When doing homework, the best way to work your way through Mt. Homework is to prioritize! Prioritize means to do the homework based on its due date(which you should be writing down in your handy-dandy agenda!). So, if your math homework is due on Thursday and that English essay is due tomorrow, do the English essay first and then, if you have time that afternoon, do the math homework.

  Last but not least, ALWAYS PLAN AHEAD! You will want to do this so on the day you have soccer practice, you are not freaking out because you haven’t started the huge science project that is due the next day! Don’t let that be you! Finish work ahead of time so you don’t have to stay up until 12 am and get no sleep.

  So, the bottom line here is that, in middle school, make sure that you have an agenda to help you plan ahead, prioritize, and get homework finish and turned in on time.
