5 Tip for Success

Tip 5
Tip 5: Keep a List of Questions
When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes you’re questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; you've read the text and are familiar with them. When you have specific question, 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, 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 bette

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

 Reflection: 
this statement is showing me that if try my 
best each day , my best will improve little by 
little.

Tip 3: Do Research
Literary circuits have written vast numbers of analytical and critical pieces on countless books. If you are having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it in addition to increasing comprehension, you'll also be showing intimate 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 an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t but sometimes you can. Rather than simply skipping over words you don’t know, tale 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.

5 Tips for Staying Motivated


5 Tips for Staying Motivated
Tips 3-5
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 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 colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who can motivate 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 email, get a snack. Then move out to the next project.
Choose The Right!!!!
