Question

As you survey text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here’s how you can create questions:

·         Turn the title, headings or subheadings into questions.

·         Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs and illustrations—these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.

NEVER "There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil." Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

NEVER

“There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil.”

-Ayn Rand

(novelist, philosopher, playwright, screenwriter)

I agree with this statement because I strongly believe that there shouldn’t be an excuse in choosing the wrong. Maybe one might think that just once is ok to choose the wrong, but it’s not. It doesn’t matter how small that wrong is, if it’s wrong then it’s wrong and you shouldn’t do it. For example, you may be at a party and your friends are drinking and they offer you some alcohol. You might deny them at first because you know it’s wrong but they are just going to keep pressuring you until you accept. Then you might have a second thought and be like “Why not? It’s just a small sip?” If You do take a sip, you are choosing the wrong because you are choosing to drink alcoholic beverages yet you know it’s not right to drink but you still do.

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 texts 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 the 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 else.

The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said,” Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book… and a pen.

"When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day.." Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece.

This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day.”

-John wooden

I strongly agree with this statement because in order to become better at something all you need to do is have a lot of practice and try harder every time to become even a more better player than you were the day before. It takes a lot of effort and dedication to get better at things; things that you desire to get better at. If you really want to become a better someone, you really have to focus on what you are trying to achieve. It’s important to focus on what you want to achieve because when you are focused and dedicated, you will become a better person and achiever.

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 knowledgeable sources have to stay about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides. Going the extra mile in your research elevates your achievement 10-fold.

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 an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t. Rather than simply skipping over the words you don’t know, take the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly, and you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.

"The Three Don'ts; Don't whine, Don't complain, Don't make excuses" Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“The Three Don’ts

Don’t whine

Don’t complain

Don’t make excuses

-John Wooden

I strongly agree with this statement because people need to take responsibility for themselves. If they had already done something, they shouldn’t complain or whine about it and just do what they are told. And if they are asked to do it, they shouldn’t find a way to make excuses of not doing it. They have to listen to their elders; so they should do as they are told.

3. Set Attainable Goals

If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any project in small chunks.

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 you by listening and sharing ideas.

5. Acknowledge Your Accomplishments

Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an email, get a snack. Then move on to the next project.
