One thing that worked was taking notes while I read because it helped me better understand the article or the text I was reading. If I ever got confused about a word or section I would jot down notes and save it to discuss in class. One thing that didn’t work was reading the questions or titles before I read because I’m a person who likes to read everything at one time. One strategy I would like to continuing using was note taking while reading.

How I can make note taking a new habit is by making sure and being strict on myself to take notes while I read so I can better understand and possibly review it later. I can make sure I wrote myself a reminder to use my reading strategies. I will understand what I am reading better.

The strategy on taking notes while in Dr. Garcia’s class has helped me somewhat because I like reading the article titles and and think about questions while I write and get the important detail of the article or story.

I was made aware when I was taking notes for my exam and I made sure to review and read the titles of everything and questioned what I was writing and what was important.

I like visual note-taking and note-taking while reading has strengthen my ability to learn and understand what I am reading.

The reading strategy I used was ‘actively read’ which required me to write notes, find answers to my questions, read for big ideas, and interact with my text.

This reading strategy in my opinion did help me because I was able to jot down notes and questions while I read which helped me better understand what I was reading. This also helped guide me to recall main points and help me connect certain things and characters .

A strategy that did not help me was ‘survey’ because it was difficult for me to read the question first and then read the article. I prefer to read the article first before I look at the question because I find it be easier to understand.

A strategy I would like to keep using is ‘actively reading’  because writings notes did help me a lot and I was able to point out what is important and what isn’t. Also ‘before you read’ helped me as well because I did notice that while reading I understand and get more done in a quite environment but I’m also compatible  in a loud environment. Also time is being issue while reading because I can’t be rushed while I read I need to take me time and go in my own pace.

Playing a sport was something I was always scared about. I didn’t feel as though I was valuable enough to play a sport much less that sport being cheerleading. Once I decided not to let the fear get in the way of my goals I went to opoen cheerleading gyms at my high school. I continued going to the open gyms and practicing until I prefected the material they gave me. I practiced day and night and made sure my jumps and spirit was high. Tryouts soon came and I felt confident but also nervous. After tryout they called out our names and soon they called out my name anoucing I made the varisty cheerleading squad.  It was satisfying to fulfill my goal and all the hard work payed off.
