Synopsis

The Brain Box is an indispensable guide for students to not only power through the stress, hard work and brain-ache of high school or college, but also to establish good learning habits and self-motivation which will be invaluable whether at a university or in a career. It is a personal journal to help each student to be their best at school by boosting grades, improving motivation, memory, learning and understanding and promoting good exam techniques. The authors take students on a journey that takes them from building their profile to looking at what motivates them, their ambitions, and their future goals. Case studies and anecdotes of success/motivation are littered throughout and questions are posed to get students thinking about their journey.

Chapters include:

A better approach - Why are you learning this stuff? Why do you come to school?

A better attitude - looks at attitude and the mood for learning as well as ideas generated in different emotional states

Better in school - looks at why pupils learn better in the classroom

Better at revision - deals with distractions/interruptions

Ntter at exams! - looks at exam techniques

Packed with doodles, games, quotes, quizzes and activities, and interesting facts and questions to keep the grey matter going, this book is designed as a "write-in and keep it" book for each student.
