In Dr. Garcia’s and Dr. Corkery’s class, I make sure to print out the articles that are assigned to me first. After they are printed out, I make sure I have the correct writing utensils– preferably a pencil. With this pencil, I underline all the important ideas, box all the unknown words, and simply summarize what I read paragraph by paragraph. My strengths as a learner has significantly increased and my understanding of different texts has improved.
