The brain is similar in which it will not develop to its full capability if we are constantly filling it with information from books. The mind needs an opportunity to think for itself and
It’s more like, you want to read it. Because you reading about someone who’s going through what you going through and it helps a lot. But if read something that I can’t get into, then I don’t read it. It’s not interesting to me. Like Mr._________ he get these books and a lot of these words, he can’t even read that.
Doing this work sheet allows the student to go back over what he or she read and reviews it for further study. In order for the student to really understand their assigned reading, they should find a quiet are, one with little interruptions. It is also helpful for the student to eat or have a snack before they start reading. This will cut down on distractions and they will be able to focus on the reading they have to do. I find that taking notes as I read helps me to retain what I read.
Before the new standards took effect, instruction focused more on quantity. If the student's didn't hear or understand the information taught to them the teacher would move forward in instruction. Not only were goals not being met, in most cases goals and standards were not being set for students. Now with the CCSS in ELA and Literacy, teachers can pause, deepen and apply quality eduction to their students. For example reading one on one and assessing students at their own reading level and providing them with literature for that level and tracking for
It would not be able to cut back his hours and taking a class that is not required would take a lot of his time. The Study Skills class requires note taking in his current classes. This would allow him to put more attention on the note taking and possible less understanding of the material for the specific class. Which could possibly distract him and lose his focus. However, Study Skills comes with many important reasons to keep the class.
I do not have any misconceptions about writing I'm just very out of practice and I'm sure with time it will become a lot easier and feel more natural. I need to focus on staying on topic, grammar and punctuation. I tend to go off topic once I get another idea something similar but not part of the idea I was going for in my paper. In order to improve this weakness is by keeping my ideas organize will help me stay on topic After reading chapter one it gave me a new motivation to learn about writing. I have always just gave myself the excuse that I am not a good writer and that’s how I am going to live.
One, maybe the most important, goal to achieve is to be a good reader: reading implies taking a book not only as a bunch of paper, full of letters, but as a friend, enjoying it from the beginning to the end with no obligations behind; associating ‘’reading’’ with terms like duty or discomfort only reflects the lack of this skill as a weakness, since students are required to read big loads of material for their classes. Writing is another point that Sullivan mentions, it is important as a student –and I’m very sure that in life too- to have the idea that you can always improve your writing and don’t, like many do, think of yourself as an efficient writer just because you know how to appropriate put words with some sense on a sheet of paper, because is not the denotative part we are looking for instead the reader needs to think and dream while reading, and also be illustrated by the writing skills of an author- folks do not read Shakespeare or Wilde because of their “typical sense of words”, they read these authors to feel alive themselves and to learn-. Writing requires dedication, effort, and sometimes enthusiasm, doing critical reviews and research can really boost your writing skills. The third point he states is thinking, this can be crucial, because having a no-limitations mindset can
Good communication is the way to resolve issues with the way students are being taught. If there was more class participation it would break down the monotony of just having a teacher read from a book or lecturing the entire time. “Knowledge emerges only through invention and reinvention,
This shows that students are not just writing more but they are actually using knowledge of writing techniques to adapt their text to cater to a particular audience. Basically, I think it is okay to say that we as a generation are not getting dumber. We may be storing less information in our brains as Bauerlein pointed out in his article but that is all because we have gotten used to the idea of having access to almost any answer at any location. Just think about the jobs we are going to be able to do in the future if we can use our brains for exclusively for thinking because memory would be stored somewhere else. Again, we are not becoming dumber, but rather we are just becoming smarter and taking advantage of the tools we have around
The next step is while you read, focus on what is written. Set some time aside to be in your ideal environment to read without distractions. Look for questions, and flag the answers. After doing the previous steps, muscle reading calls for a few steps afterwards. The first is recite what you have read, and review it many times to retain the information.
