 TIP 5: KEEP A LIST OF QUESTIONS

WHEN YOU FEEL CONFUSED ABOUT SOMETHING YOU’RE READING, WRITE DOWN ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. SOMETIMES YOUR QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED AS YOU READ FURTHER. IF NOT, DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP. REMEMBER, TEACHERS CREATE ASSIGNMENTS; THEY'VE READ THE TEXT AND ARE FAMILIAR WITH THEM. WHEN YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, YOUR TEACHERS CAN PROVIDE ANSWERS THAT WILL HELP YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL.LEARNING IS ROOTED IN QUESTIONS DEVELOPED AND ASKED BY LEARNER.

ASKING QUESTIONS TO YOURSELF, TO THE TEACHER, AND TO OTHERS, IS A GREAT LEARNING METHOD. WHEN YOU CEASE TO ASK QUESTIONS, YOU CEASE TO EXIST TO A GREAT EXTENT. READ ACTIVELY BY SILENTLY ASKING QUESTIONS AS YOU READ. QUESTIONING IMMERSES YOU INTO THE MATERIAL YOU ARE READING AND THEREFORE WILL EXPAND YOUR MENTAL CAPACITIES MORE THAN ALMOST ANYTHING.

THE PHILOSOPHER SIR FRANCIS BACON SAID,” KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.” IMPROVING YOUR READING COMPREHENSION IS THE KEY TO GAINING IMPORTANT TO KNOWLEDGE AND MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR EDUCATION. SO PICK UP A BOOK AND…  A PEN.

TIP 3: DO RESEARCH

LITERARY CRITICS HAVE WRITTEN VAST NUMBERS OF ANALYTICAL AND CRITICAL PIECES ON COUNTLESS BOOKS. IF YOU’RE HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING A PARTICULAR TEXT, DO SOME RESEARCH AND SEE WHAT KNOWLEGEABLE SOURCES YOU’LL ALSO BE SHOWING INITIATIVE, SOMETHING TEACHERS ALWAYS LIKE TO SEE. ALWAYS WAS LEGITIMATE AND SCHOLARLY SOURCES, NOT CONDENSED STUDY GUIDES.

TIP 4: USE A DICTIONARY

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A DICTIONARY WHEN YOU’RE READING. YOU CAN OFTEN FIGURE OUT THE MEANING OF UNFAMILIAR WORD BY USING CONTEXT CLUES, BUT SOMETIMES YOU CAN’T. RATHER THAN SIMPLY SKIPPING OVER THE WORDS YOU DON’T KNOW, TAKE TIME TO LOOK THEM UP. THE RESULTS ARE WELL WORTH THE EFFORT.

5 TIPS FOR SUCCESS

READING AND WRITING GO HAND IN HAND. THE BETTER YOU UNDERSTAND A TEXT, THE MORE LIKELY YOU ARE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMMUNICATE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT IT IN WRITING. SO IT’S IMPORTANT TO DEVELOP STRONG SKILLS IN BOTH AREAS. WITH THAT IN MIND, HERE’S HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR READING COMPREHENSION.

                   TIPS 1-2

TIP 1: ANNOTATE

BE AN ACTIVE READER.INSTEAD OF PASSIVELY READING A TEXT, TAKE NOTES ABOUT IMPORTANT STORY ELEMENTS, KEY FACTUAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT IDEAS IN THE TEXT.

TIP 2: NOTE THE AUTHORS WRITING STYLE

EVERY AUTHOR WRITES WITH A PURPOSE, USING DELIBERATE METHODS TO SUCCESSFULLY RELATE SPECIFIC INFORMATION TO THE AUDIENCE.WHEN YOU’RE READING, LOOK FOR PATTERNS IN THE AUTHOR’S WRITING. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MAY NOTICE A REPETITION OF KEY WORDS, PHRASES OR SYMBOLS—OR THE USE OF A DISTINCT TYPE OF SENTENCE STRUCTURE. AUUTHORS EMPLOY THESE WRITING STRATEGIES TO HELP READERS COMPREHEND A CENTRAL ARGUMENT OR THEME, SO BE SURE TO EXPLORE HOW THESE TECHNIQUES CREATE MEANING.

                4. FIND A SOCIAL SUPPORT NETWORK

CREATE A GROUP OF PEOPLE AROUND YOU WHO WANT TO HELP YOU SUCCEED. MENTORS CAN BE TEACHERS OR FAMILY FRIENDS WHO CAN GIVE YOU GUIDANCE AND HELP YOU DEVELOP NEW SKILLS. COUNSELORS CAN HELP YOU WITH PLANNING YOUR COURSES AND STARTING TO EXPLORE COLLEGES. YOU CAN ALSO REACH OUT TO FRIENDS AND PEERS WHO CAN MOTIVATE YOU BY LISTENING AND SHARING IDEAS.

5 TIPS FOR STAYING MOTIVATED TIPS 1-2

5 TIPS FOR STAYING MOTIVATED

TIPS 1-2

TO SUCCEED IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE, YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR BEST AT ALL TIMES. BUT SOMETIMES IT’S HARD TO STAY MOTIVATED, EVEN WHEN YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT THE WORK YOU’RE DOING. HERE ARE FIVE WAYS TO STAY ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

1.      FOCUS ON HIGH-IMPACT ACTIVITIES

THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN SCHOOL IS STAYING FOCUSED ON YOUR COURSE WORK. MAKE A LIST TO GET AN OVERALL PICTURE OF YOUR WORKLOAD BEFORE YOU START TO TACKLE ANY OF IT. THEN, MAKE A PLAN. ALTHOUGH IT’S TEMPTING TO DO THE SIMPLEST ASSIGNMENTS FIRST, THOSE THAT TAKE MORE TIME AND EFFORT TO ACCOMPLISH ARE PROBABLY THE ONES THAT YOU’LL LEARN THE MOST FROM.

TO DETERMINE WHAT YOUR PRIORITIES ARE, RANK YOUR ASSIGNMENTS IN THE ORDER OF IMPORTANCE. THEN REARRANGE YOUR TIME AND DEVOTE MORE ENERGY TOWARD THOSE THAT HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON YOUR COURSE WORK AND GRADES. FOR EXAMPLE, EVEN THOUGH ALL HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS ARE IMPORTANT, STUDYING FOR A MIDTERM EXAM TAKES PRIORITY OVER WRITING A PARAGRAPH FOR ENGLISH CLASS. AS YOU COMPLETE EACH TASK, THINK OF IT AS ANOTHER STEP ON YOUR WAY TO COLLEGE SUCCESS.

2.      CREATE NEW CHALLENGES

CHANGING YOUR APPROACH CAN HELP YOU STAY INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU’RE DOING. IF YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN AN ASSIGNMENT SIMILAR TO ONE YOU’VE DONE IN THE PAST, THINK ABOUT IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY. IF YOU WROTE AN ESSAY FOR A CREATIVE WRITING ASSIGNMENT LAST YEAR, TRY A POEM THIS TIME. FOR BOOK REPORTS, PICK A HISTORY BOOK INSTEAD OF ANOTHER BIOGRAPHY.

                                              PART 2

KEEP THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE

KNOW HOW MUCH WEIGHT EACH ASSIGNMENT OR TEST CARRIES, AND USE YOUR TIME ACCORDINGLY. DON’T WASTE TIME, BUT BE WISE AND SMART. DOING THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS FIRST IS BEING WISE AND SMART.

GET MORE INVOLVED

KEEP YOUR MIND FROM WANDERING BY TAKING NOTES, UNDERLINING SECTIONS, DISCUSSING TOPICS WITH OTHERS OR RELATING YOUR HOMEWORK TO SOMETHING YOU’RE STUDYING IN ANOTHER CLASS. LEARN ACTIVELY AND NOT PASSIVELY. BE ANXIOUSLY ENGAGED IN YOUR STUDIES AND YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE. DEMONSTRATE A GOOD ATTITUDE TOWARD HOME ASSIGNMENTS, AND YOU WILL BEGIN TO LOVE DOING IT.

ORGANIZE THE INFORMATION

PEOPLE PROCESS INFORMATION IN DIFFERENT WAYS.SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO DRAW PICTURES OR CHARTS TO DIGEST INFORMATION, OTHERS PREFER TO READ OUT LOUD OR MAKE DETAILED OUTLINES. TRY TO FIND THE METHODS THAT WORK BEST FOR YOU. ASK YOUR TEACHER FOR RECOMMENDATIONS IF YOU’RE HAVING TROUBLE.

                                             PART 1

ALTHOUGH VERY STUDENTS LOVE HOMEWORK, IT DOES SERVE A PURPOSE. HOMEWORK HELPS YOU:

·         REINFORCE WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED DURING THE DAY.

·         BUILD STUDY HABITS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL IN COLLEGE.

·         PREPARE FOR YOUR CLASSES.

·         GET A SENSE OF PROGRESS.

HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU DEAL WITH HOMEWORK MORE EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY.

SET THE MOOD

CREATE A GOOD STUDY ARE WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED (FOR EXAMPLE, A CALCULATOR). IF YOU DON’T HAVE A QUIET PLACE AT HOME, TRY YOUR SCHOOL OR LOCAL LIBRARY.

KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN

MAKE A LIST OF EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO DO, AND NOTE ALL DEADLINES. DO THE MORE DIFFICULT ASSIGNMENTS FIRST, SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO FACE THEM AT THE END.

STUDY AT THE SAME TIME EVERYDAY

EVEN IF YOU DON’T HAVE HOMEWORK EVERY NIGHT, USE THE TIME TO REVIEW NOTES. IF SITTING DOWN TO WORK IS PART OF YOUR ROUTINE, YOU’LL APPROACH IT WITH LESS DREAD. ALSO, YOU’LL BECOME A PRO AT USING TIME PRODUCTIVELY.

ONCE YOU'VE DONE ALL OF THE ABOVE, YOU’LL FIND YOU'VE CREATED YOUR OWN PERSONALIZED STUDY GUIDE. COVER THE MAIN SECTION OF THE PAGE AND USE THE KEY WORDS AND QUESTIONS IN THE LEFT MARGIN AS A QUIZ.

STICK TO IT

REVIEW YOUR NOTES THE DAY YOU TAKE THEM AND ALL YOUR NOTES ONCE A WEEK.THAT WAY YOU WON’T NEED TO STUDY AS MUCH WHEN IT’S TIME TO TEST TIME. YOU'VE BEEN DOING THE WORK ALL ALONG. TRY OUT THE CORNELL SYSTEM, BUT IF IT DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU, EXPERIMENT WITH OTHER METHODS. ASK YOUR CLASSMATES HOW THEY TAKE NOTES OR ASK A TEACHER FOR ADVICE. TAKING GOOD NOTES REQUIRES PRACTICE, LIKE ANY OTHER SKILL. AND THE MORE YOU WORK AT IT NOW, THE BETTER MORE PREPARED YOU’LL BE TO TAKE NOTES IN COLLEGE.

AFTER YOU’VE REVIEWED ALL YOUR NOTES FROM CLASS, IN THE LEFT-HAND AREA OF THE PAGE WRITE DOWN KEY WORDS AND QUESTIONS YOUR TEACHER MIGHT ASK ON A TEST.

AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH PAGE, WRITE A SUMMARY OF THE NOTES. THIS HELPS YOU DIGEST WHAT YOU’VE LEARNED. IT ALSO IMPROVES YOUR MEMORY OF THE MATERIAL FOR THE LONG TERM AND FOR TESTS DOWN THE ROAD.

·         KEEP ALL YOUR NOTES IN ONE PLACE.

                                               PART 4 OF 4

                                 EMPHASIS ON THE WRITTEN WORD

MOST OF THE COMMUNICATION, AS WELL AS THE COURSE WORK, IN DISTANCE-LEARNING CLASSES WRITTEN IS WRITTEN. THAT’S A PLUS, BECAUSE THE FOCUS ON THE WRITTEN WORD GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP AS A WRITER-AND STRONG WRITING SKILLS ARE ESSENTIAL TO ACADEMIC SUCCESS. HOWEVER, IF WRITING IS A SERIOUS WEAKNESS FOR YOU, VIRTUAL LEARNING MAY NOT BE THE BEST EDUCATIONAL OPTION UNTIL YOU IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS. YES, MOST OF DISTANCE EDUCATION IS THE WRITTEN WORD; THEREFORE, YOU NEED TO BE A GOOD READER, LOVE TO READ, AND LOVE WRITING ALSO. MOST OF YOUR ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE WRITTEN AND SUBMITTED TO THE INSTRUCTOR IN THE WRITTEN FORMAT. YOUR PENMANSHIP NEEDS TO BE EXCELLENT, SPELLING GREAT, SENTENCE STRUCTURE ABOVE AVERAGE, VOCABULARY EXTRAORDINARY. YOU NEED TO HAVE ONLINE ACCESS WITH RELIABLE EQUIPMENT. IF YOUR INTERNET COMMUNICATIONS AT HOME ISN’T WORKING, YOU CAN’T DO ONLINE EDUCTION FROM HOME AND WILL NEED TO GO TO SOMEPLACE WHERE YOU DO HAVE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET.

DECIDE WHETHER IT’S RIGHT FOR YOU

DISTANCE EDUCATION ISN’T FOR EVERYONE, BUT IT JUST MIGHT BE FOR YOU. YOU REALLY SHOULD SEEK IT OUT AND GIVE IT A TRY. YOU NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU TRY. YOU MIGHT ALL IN LOVE WITH DISTANCE EDUCATION. WHILE DISTANCE EDUCATION MAY BE THE PERFECT ALTERNATIVE FOR SOME STUDENTS, IT’S NOT THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR EVERYONE. SO CAREFULLY CONSIDER YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS AND INTERESTS AND GIVE DISTANCE EDUCATION A TRY; THEN, DECIDE IF IT IS RIGHT FOR YOU.

·         LACK OF IN-PERSON INTERACTION: SOME EDUCATORS ARGUE THAT BOTH TEACHER-STUDENT AND STUDENT-STUDENT CONTACT ARE ESSENTIAL TO LEARNING. IN A DISTANCE-LEARNING CLASSROOM, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS DISCUSSIONS ONLINE IN CHAT ROOMS, MESSAGE BOARDS OR WEBS CONFERENCES—BUT IT’S NOT THE SAME AS BEING WITH OTHER STUDENTS IN A CLASSROOM.

·         DIFFERENT LEVELS OF QUALITY: MANY DISTANCE-EDUCATION PROGRAMS SUPPLY AN EXCELLENT LEARNING EXPERIENCE, BUT OTHERS MAY NOT. RESEARCH ANY PROGRAM BEFORE SIGNING ON TO MAKE SURE IT’S RIGOROUS ENOUGH. IF YOU ARE CHOOSING YOUR OWN PROGRAM, LOOK INTO ITS ACCREDITATION BEFORE ENROLLING.

·         THE NEED OF SELF-START: DISTANCE EDUCATION LETS YOU MAKE YOUR OWN SCHEDULES. IF YOU HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING MOTIVATED, THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE IDEAL EDUCATIONAL SETTING FOR YOU

BECAUSE DISTANCE EDUCATION LETS YOU TAKE CLASSES OUTSIDE REGULAR SCHOOL HOURS, IT GIVES YOU THE FLEXIBILITY TO EXPLORE ALL YOUR AREAS OF INTEREST.

·         ADVANCED AND SPECIALIZED CLASSES: SOME SCHOOLS CAN’T PROVIDE ADVANCED OR SPECIALIZED CLASSES. DISTANCE EDUCATION GIVES YOU THE CHANCE TO GAIN EXPERIENCE IN AREAS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REMAIN OUT OF REACH.

YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE A CLASS THAT YOUR HIGH SCHOOL DOESN’T OFFER. UNDER SOME CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU CAN STILL ENROLL IN THE CLASS-THROUGH DISTANCE LEARNING.

DISTANCE EDUCATION MEANS TAKING A CLASS WITHOUT BEING PHYSICALLY PRESENT WHERE IT IS BEING TAUGHT. INTERNET-BASED TECHNOLOGY LETS STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN LECTURES AND CLASS SESSIONS ONLINE FROM ALMOST ANYWHERE.

SOME HIGH SCHOOLS AGREE TO RECOGNIZE DISTANCE-LEARNING CREDITS WHEN THEY DON’T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO OFFER A COURSE THEMSELVES. DISTANCE EDUCATION IS OFTEN USED TO INCREASE OPTIONS IN RURAL AREAS AND FOR AP COURSES.

FOR YOU, IT MIGHT MEAN DOING SELF-TUTORIAL AT HOME IN THE EVENING, OR PARTICIPATING IN A CLASS THAT IS 1,000 MILES AWAY, ALONG WITH OTHER HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.CHECK WITH YOUR SCHOOL COUNSELOR TO SEE WHAT’S AVAILABLE.

ALTHOUGH WORKING AND GOING TO SCHOOLS IS CHALLENGING, IT CAN BE A REWARDING EXPERIENCE IF YOU USE SOME FORESIGHT. THESE TIPS CAN HELP YOU HANDLE THE SITUATION AND MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME:

·         DISCUSS YOUR PLANS WITH YOUR FAMILY. BALANCING THE DEMANDS OF SCHOOL AND WORK IS EASIER WITH THEIR SUPPORT.

·         START SLOWLY DON’T COMMIT TO WORK A LOT OF HOURS IMMEDIATELY.

·         AVOID TIME CONFLICTS BY PLANNING YOUR CLASS AND WORK SCHEDULES AS FAR AHEAD OF TIME AS POSSIBLE.

·         USE YOUR TIME EFFICIENTLY. YOU CAN USE 10 MINUTES WAITING IN ALINE TO GO OVER FEW PAGES OF ASSIGNED READING. IF YOUR JOB HAS A LOT OF DOWNTIME AND YOUR BOSS HAS NO OBJECTION, YOU CAN USE SLOW PERIODS TO DO SCHOOLWORK.

·         IF YOU COMMUTE TO YOUR JOB ON PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, BRING YOUR SCHOOLWORK WITH YOU SO YOU CAN WORK ALONG THE WAY.

·         BE FLEXIBLE AND WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICES. YOU MAY HAVE TO CUT DOWN ON SOME OTHER THINGS YOU’D LIKE TO DO BECAUSE OF YOUR SCHOOLWORK AND COMMITMENTS.

·         IF YOU HAVE TOO MUCH ON YOUR PLATE, ADMIT IT. THEN CUT BACK AS NEEDED. SCHEDULE RELAXATION TIME. EVERYONE NEEDS SOME DOWNTIME TO STAY HAPPILY AND HEALTHY.
