My Reflection Post of wk.5

There are only a few reading strageties that I'll probably be using this upcoming week. First of all, I need to finish reading the book "The Things They Carried".And after finishing this book, I need to start on my project and then write my essay. But in order to start the project, I need to pick a theme. So what I think will help me out while reading is using post-it notes to tab the pages that I think will be useful for my project.In the pages tab, I'll be planning to highlight the important information that goes with the theme I selected.

A study stragety I will also be using for my reading class will be using flashcards to learn my vocabulary list. This is a stragety I've been using ever since Jr.High to learn all sorts of my vocabulary. So this was nothing new for me. I like to learn in colors so I use different colors in my flashcards for each word. When I can, I like taking my vocabulary flashcards to the mall and study them over there while I walk around to see if I can relate the words to anything in real life perspective.

One learning stragety that really does that help out is always reciting. I know this is part of the SQ3R thing but I don't do the whole process all the time. I only use what I think will work better for me without consuming too much time. And reciting is definately one. This means I study over and review what I've learned. I like to do this through out the day and at night so it can all sink in. And the day after I like to recite it some more.
