No Pictures? No Problem!

I've actually been excited about this opportunity to set reading goals. Lately I've been struggling with reading in my new classes. It's easy for me to get distracted or uninterested if a reading takes too long or if there are no pictures, however, I do realize that reading is a huge part of becoming an educated person. So, I am excited to use some new strategies to make reading for school work for me.

Here are my goals:

1. make a plan for note taking
2. summarize what I am reading in my head or in the margins
3. keep a list of questions I have as I read

Since reading vary in my classes, I think it would be smart and beneficial to make a note-taking strategy so I don't spend too much time and effort on any reading that's less important and so that I spend enough time to understand very important or difficult readings. Summarizing will help me check myself for comprehension. And finally, keeping a list of questions will help me participate more fully in my classes.

Can't wait to get the most out of my readings this semester!
