=Steps for Following Directions=

//** In grade 7, your grade depends on how well you follow directions. **//

1) Read the directions out loud so you can hear and read them. Doing this helps you read more carefully.

2) Circle the action words in the directions. This reminds you of exactly what you have to do.

3) Underline the details in the directions. This tells you how the teacher wants the work done.

4) Tell yourself how many things you have to do in the directions. Teachers often ask you to do more than one thing in the directions.

5) When you think you are done doing the work, read the directions again to be sure you followed all of the directions.
