Homework is a major part of going to school：It's your teachers'way of evaluating how much you understand what's going on in class．（36）___Luckily，you can do a few things to make homework less burden．
Be sure you understand the homework
Write your homework down in your notebook or day planner if you need to．（37）___ It's much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!

A．Once your homework is done，you can check over it if you have extra time．
B．And it helps digest important concepts．
