Reading 5 tips for Success

Tip 5

Tip 5 Keep a list of Questions

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they’ve read the texts and are familiar with them when you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the leaner.

Asking questions to you, to the teacher, and to the others, is a great learning method. When you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon Said, “Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book … and a pen.

 

Student success statement

“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that every day, to make that practice a masterpiece.

This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day.”—John Wooden

Summary: what I think this means is that what you do every day in your life, it matters. You might not think it matters but trust me people it does. You will regret what you do wrong in life. Not only that but you won’t live in peace all the wrong and damage that you have caused will come back to you. So choose the right, or CHOOSE GOD.

Tip 3: Do Research

Literary circuits have written vast numbers of analytical and critical pieces on countless books. If you are having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it in addition to increasing comprehension, you'll also be showing intimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides.

Tips 4: Use a Dictionary

Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t but sometimes you can. Rather than simply skipping over words you don’t know, tale the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly, and you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.

“Every time I’ve done something that doesn’t feel right, it’s ended up not being right.”—Mario Cuomo (52^nd governor of NY)

There’s always something that tells you that you can’t do it, but you have to turn around and say “I can” and do it. Eventually sometimes it might not go the way you plan it but the effort is worth something, and it’s useful to you and your life ahead. Choose the right. For example you might just want to do what your friends do but you know if you do it, it might somehow have consequences that will effected your future.

3. Set Attainable Goals

If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any projects in small chunks.

4. Find a Social Support Network

5 Tip for staying motivated

Tips 1-2

http://www.collegeboard.com/student/plan/boost-your-skills/8454.html

To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the right track.

1. Focus on high-impact activities

The key to success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your work load before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that make more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from.

To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in their order of importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy toward those that have the greater impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework assignments are important, studying for a midterm exam take priority over writing a paragraph for an English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.

2. Create New Challenges

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year try a poem this time. For book reports, pick a history book, instead of another biography.

Take control of Homework

So it doesn’t control you

Part 3

Take advantages of any free time

If you have long study periods or long bus ride, use the time to review notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start your homework. Flash cards are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle and are a marvelous tool to help you learn and remember anything. Punch a hole in the upper left corner of each index card and connect the stack of your flash cards with a ring. Then the cards are bound and not flopping around.   Flash cards bound like this act like a small book with pages you can even have a separate ringed stack for each subject. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO REMEMBER PUT IT ON A CARD.

Study with a friend

Get together with friends and classmates to quiz each other, compare notes and predict test questions. Consider joying a study group.

Communicate 

If you have con concerns about the amount or type of homework you have you might want to talk to your family, teachers or counselors. They can help you understand how much time you need to allot for homework and how to manage your task.

Celebrate your achievement

Reward yourself for hitting milestones or doing something well.

 

Student success statement

“Be always sure you’re right, then go ahead.” –Davy Crockett (1786-1836)

Summary: What I think this means is that you have to do what’s right and continue doing what’s right. Don’t do things in a bad way because if you do them even though you do, you do them with a bad attitude you aren’t doing it right at all. So, choose the right young people and you shall find yourself a great life and character as well.

Example #1:  Your mom asks you to wash the dishes but you do them in a bad way, you think you’re doing it right but you aren’t actually doing it the way you think you should do them.

Learn actively and not passively. Be anxiously engages in your studies and you will have great experience. Demonstrate a good attitude toward home assignments, and you will begin to love doing them.

Organize the information

People process information in different ways. Some people like to draw pictures or charts to digest information, others prefer to read out loud or make detailed outlines. Try to find the methods that work best for you. Ask your teacher for recommendations if you’re having trouble.

Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face them at the end. Study at the Same Time Everyday Even if you don’t have homework every night, use time to review notes.

Once you’ve done all of the above, you’ll find you’ve created your own personalized study guide. Cover the main section of the page and use the key words and questions in the left margin as a quiz.

Stick to it

Review your notes the day you take them and all your notes once a week. That way, you won’t need to study as much when it’s test time.

You’ve been doing the work all along.

Try out the Cornell system, but if it doesn’t work for you, experience with other methods. Ask your classmates how they take notes, or ask a teacher for advice. Taking good notes requires practice, like any other skill. And the more you work on it now, the more prepared you’ll be to take notes in college.

What I like to do for fun

What I like to do for is that I like going to church a lot. The reason why I like to do this is because I would surely like to be ready for the second coming of our savior. Now, we do not know when he will come, but the bible says he “he shall cometh like thief in the night.” The second reason is because I have friends at church that make me feel wanted and I feel better when am at church. We have a club called “Huntington Park Spanish Pathfinder Club” what we do there are things that relate to God and nothing more than God.

Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom for You

Part 4 of 4

Emphasis on the writing word

Most of the communications, as well as the course work, in the distance learning class is written. That’s a plus, because the focused on the written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a writer and strong writing skills are essential to academic success. However, if writing is a serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best educational option for you until you improve your skills. Yes, most of distance education is the written word; therefore, you need to be a good reader, love to read, and love writing also. Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in the written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentence structure above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online access with reliable equipment. If your internet communications at home isn’t working, you can’t do online education from home and will need to go to someplace where you do have access to the internet.

Decide whether it is right for you

Distance education isn’t for everyone, but it just might be for you. You really should seek it out and give it a try. You never know until you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. While distance education may be the perfect alternative for some students, it’s not the right choice for everyone. So carefully consider your unique needs and interest and give distance education a try: then, decide if it is right for you.

Positive aspects of distance education

-Independence and time management: taking courses online lets you hone your ability to work on your own. You also gain experience in managing your time efficiently.

-A flexible schedule: school can only provide a certain number of class periods in a single school day, and there may not be enough time for you to take everything you want. Because distance education lets you take classes outside regular school hours, it gives you the flexibility to explore all your areas of interest.

-Advanced and specialized classes: some school can’t provide advanced and specialized classes. Distance education gives you the chance to gain experience in areas that would otherwise remain out of reach

Part 5

Additional Tips

Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:

·        Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with their support.

·        Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately.

·        Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.

 

·        Use your time efficiently.  You use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go over a few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of down time and your boss has no objection, you can use slow periods to do schoolwork.

 

·        If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.

 

·        Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some other thing you might like to do because of your school and work commitments.

·         If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.

·        Schedule relaxation. Everyone needs some down time to stay

Spring Break

What I did during my spring break was go water fall rappeling and I also had fun with my family. I also went to the park and played a little basketball with my neighbors. I had tough times during spring break but all I did was kneel down  before God and I prayed. I certainly enjoyed staying up late, also waking up late. I missed school but now am back and I’m happy to see everyone.

He reminds students that “the activates and courses students choose wary considerably, so it’s important for young people to keep their individual situation clearly in mind.” MacGowan continues, “for example, student’s actors should allow for the fact that they won’t have such time during performance sessions. Student athletes need to remember the times of the years of the year that they’ll be tried up with games and practice. Other students who are in classes that make considerable demands outside of the classrooms must keep that reality in mind.”
