Before I read any of the passages I think about any knowledge that I have on the topic. I look at the topic and think about if I’m interested in it or not. I scan the last paragraph and I see if I can sum up the whole topic.
Everything pretty much worked. I thought about questions to ask myself before and after the reading. I used the who, what, when, where, and why method also. I reflected on what I learned. I followed all of these points and it helped me understand and come together with the passage.
I would like to keep using all the strategies. I feel like these strategies will help me along my process here at Millersville. I feel like I will do better anytime I get an passage and have to read it and reflect on it. I might not be interested in the passage or topic but it could help me go a long way.
I can make them my reading strategies or habits by thinking about them and thinking about how easy it got me through the work I was given. S, what do I want to do, I would think about how I want to do good on the paper. M, I would know that I reached it when I’ve gone through all the steps. A, it is and will always be my own power to accomplish my work and get a good grade. R, I can and will realistically achieve anything. T, I want to accomplish my work when it is handed to me and I will get it done right then and there.
