Sometimes you are reminded that the unit is _   because there is some kind of test or quiz. Use these natural    as opportunities to stop and reflect.

You should find a     place---anywhere without noise is OK. This can even be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something   and the other students are still working. If you are going to take notes, take out your journal Write down some notes on things that you learned in this unit. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some   .
