New Student Orientation Instructions (for students who are new to my class after the first week or so of school)
Are you going to be taking the ACT anytime soon? Are you going to be taking any test any time soon? Are you going to be engaging in any pursuit where you'd like to perform as well as you can any time soon? If so, check out Mr. Lochamy's very own Michael Jackson Method for Succeeding on Tests. Learn it, implement it, do well, and be happy.
Got some room for improvement when it comes to reading (or reading comprehension)? Learn to read like a champ.
