"I have to read a chapter about Canada for my geography class. Looking through the chapter, I see that I have 10 pages to read. I will spend about 40 minutes studying this chapter. I have decided to break the chapter into two parts. I will read five pages at a time and take a short break at the end of the first five pages."

"I'm going to take notes on the native peoples that have lived in Canada. I will write the name of each tribe on the front and what they were noted for on the back. I will write the Tsimshian people on the front of the card. On the back I will write that they used trees to build longhouses, totem poles, and canoes to hunt whales and seals. I will write the Algonquin on the front of the card. On the back I will write that they were hunters so they did not have permanent homes. They moved through the northern forests following moose and caribou. For the Iroquois, I will write that they were farmers and built villages along the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River."

"To help me remember what each tribe was noted for, I will create a sentence. For the Tsimshian, I will use t, l (for longhouses), c (for canoes), and t (for totem poles). I will use the sentence: Tarzan took long canoes. For the Algonquin, I will use a, h (for hunters), and m (for moose). I will use the word ham to remember. For the Iroquois, I will use I, f (for farmers), and v (for villages) and g (for Great Lakes). I will use the sentence: I feel very good."

"To help me remember how the tribes lived, I will try to picture a totem pole for the Tsimshian, a hunter shooting a bow and arrow at a buffalo for the Algonquin, and a small Indian village for the Iroquois."

"To help me remember that the Algonquin were hunters who did not have permanent settlements, I will pick out the word gon (to stand for gone) to show that they did not stay places, but were gone when the seasons changed."
