Should you read all the directions carefully!?
YES!!! Always read carefully.

Is the Terra Nova important?
Yes! You should try your very best because it does give important information to your parents, teachers, and even you!

Can I study for Terra Nova?

What do you do when you don't understand what the question is asking?
RE-READ the selection. Try to go back and read it again to figure it out.
200
Should I worry that I won't do well on a test?
