Study Tips and Chocolate Chips
Tuesday, December 9, 2008
5:30-6:30pm
Nine teens and 3 Teen Reps gathered at the Norcross Branch on 12/9 to discuss exam study tips and eat some chocolate chips. We passed around a variety of books and dvd's with study tips, such as the juvenile dvd "Test-Taking Strategies", and the Teen books "How to Study for Success" and "How to Ace Any Test". Everyone had a chance to give their best test-taking tip, which we have listed below. Then the real fun began, as we passed out plates of chocolate chip cookies, graham crackers, mini-pretzels, chocolate chips, frosting, red hots and sugar sprinkles. Everyone dug in to the task of eating cookies, decorating cookies and then eating them, eating the decorations and just eating. It is amazing how many ways there are to decorate a chocolate chip cookie or a graham cracker. Check out the photos that Diane is posting.

2. Make a schedule of when to study
3. Get a good night's sleep

Seven teens “Morphed” various items including paper, small canvass bags and T-shirts. Popular stencils used were a Mexican Wrestler, a Star, a radio, a car and a deer. Individual talents included smearing colors with fingers and painting extra borders around the subjects. The teens munched on cookies and juice as they focused on their craft.
