strategies for the fall semster

During the fall semester you should make a plan on what your day is going to be like and what you should do depending on how much time you have. So for me my first class is at 10:00 in the morning so I will wake up around 8:00 and go get some breakfast and go back to the dorm room and get ready for my classes for the day. After my first two classes I will go to lunch and try to get some of the homework done that I have gotten so far. After lunch I will go to my couple of classes that I will have next and then work on my homework and studying over the next couple of hours. after I get everything done I will then go to dinner and then go to the gym to work out or I will hang out with my friends, Depending on if I have a test or a finale the next day or if my schedule is different times because like for my schedule I have one class at one time the one day and the next day I would have it from 5:00 to 6:00 , so I will not have as much time to do this stuff.

new note taking stragites

when i was doing the home work for DR.Garcia’s class and DR. Corekery’s  class i used the strategies Cornell witch is basically an organized notes so what i would do is i would ask questions and write them down and then read the rest of the article to answer the questions  that i had also to keep me engaged with the reading. and i would also write down the major key points of the article. the other strategies i used was concept mapping which is basically when you put the main ideas in the bubbles on the map you made. these strategies helped me as a reader because it helped me understand what the main idea and the whole article was about and also they helped me keep involved with the article.

Reflecting on my new reading strategies

During the readings that Dr Garcia’s or Dr. Corkey’s class materials the strategeis i used was. 1.) go to a quiet place where there is no distractions like TV’s or Phones or people that would normally talk to you (you can listen to music if you want to if it will help you focus). Next read the summary and or end Questions to help you get a better idea of what the article or reading is about so you have a general idea about what the author is writing about.After that you should come up with Questions that you may have about the reading and try to answer the questions while you are reading as a way to motivate you as your reading and write down any important notes that you may see .

some of the stuff that did not help me when i was reading was looking at the photos or drawing the photos because there where not that many or no photos in the book or article and im not that good at drawing and i didn’t really know what to draw about.

You can make new reading strategies by learning stuff from a teacher from one of your classes or by a friend teaching you you can also the stragites that i would like to keep are probably the ones that i listed up above .

 

Hello world!

back in high school i was in 9th grade and i saw my sister in the band and i thought that would be fun to do caused it looked fun so i said to my parents could i join the marching band next year and they where like yes so i go to band the following year and i wasn’t expecting to have so many practices but now that i look back at it i don’t think it is as bad as i thought when i first joined but when i first joined i didn’t know anything about music and marching so the very first practice i was nervous cause i didn’t know what i was doing so it took me a while just  to get one thing done and then to add another thing on top of that and i asked my one friend i asked him to help me out so he did and that’s how we became friends and by my 2nd year of doing band i was better at doing everything and knew how things worked so by the end of my 3rd year i became one of the section leaders and the band won states last year .
