GRADE 7 HOMEROOM GUIDANCE MODULE 1 POWERPOINT|| QUARTER 1|| WEEK 1 & 2 || MY STUDY PLAN, MY GUIDE

This session introduces guidance for Grade 7 students, focusing on studying plans and guides. Learning objectives include describing proper time management and study habits, demonstrating effective habits, and valuing good study attitudes at home and school. Students are welcomed to Junior High School, a new and challenging phase, emphasizing the need for adjustment from elementary to high school life.

The transition from elementary to high school requires significant adjustments, particularly in managing oneself and academic habits. The module aims to help students navigate this transition smoothly. It acknowledges how technological advancements have evolved study habits, with the internet and online resources playing a crucial role, alongside traditional physical books. Students are encouraged to adapt their time management and study habits based on their setup and available resources.

Students are prompted to engage in self-reflection activities. 'My Self Forecast' involves drawing a symbol of their target achievements in Grade 7 and explaining it, followed by questions about the attainability of their targets and necessary changes. Another activity, 'The old and the current me,' asks students to compare their study habits from Grade 6 to Grade 7, considering if old habits will still be effective.

Important terms are defined to provide a clear understanding: 'Study' is the activity of learning through various means; 'Habit' is a usual and repeated way of behaving; and 'Study habits' are well-planned and consistent patterns of study aimed at understanding academic subjects and passing examinations.

Ten tips are provided to develop effective study habits: 1. Have a specific study time for consistency. 2. Follow your plan to avoid procrastination. 3. Tackle difficult assignments first when energy is high. 4. Ask for help from adults or teachers when needed. 5. Take short breaks to relax and recharge. 6. Maintain a positive attitude, especially with challenging subjects. 7. Attend classes regularly to keep up with lessons. 8. Practice concentration and focus by minimizing distractions. 9. Write down assignments in a notebook to stay organized. 10. Keep study supplies ready in your study place before sessions.

Planning study sessions is crucial for organization, calculation, and placement of activities. It provides a clear view of tasks, a sense of direction, prevents rushed work and stress, and fosters self-discipline, promoting concentration on current tasks.

The module concludes with a final activity: writing a letter to oneself, motivating the pursuit of academic goals and reminding of big dreams and future plans. The session congratulates students on completing Module 1 for Grade 7.
