This textbook can be a challenge.

Here are my suggestions for success ...

1. MAIN IDEA
   - read the passage in the textbook from start to finish
   - try to understand the main idea
   don't worry about words or details
   try to understand the title of the passage

2. CHECK
   - now check the Japanese summary here
   you should now understand most of the reading

3. VOCABULARY
   - try the English vocabulary game here
   - this will help you to master new vocabulary
   - these games are NOT part of your grade
   for more information on the game you can check out the tutorial
   I'll post a link to the tutorial in the transcript below

4. ASSIGNMENTS
   - do all of the coursework / homework assignments

5. TESTS
   - do all of the tests

6. GET HELP
   - ask me or a study partner for help anytime you need it

7. FINISH
   - finish all the assignments; check your grades and celebrate

Remember, you can choose any style of study that works best for you.
