1st Quarter Reflection




     Some of the strategies that have benefited me are annotating my articles. This has helped me a lot because when I look back I will remember what I read. It also helps me because if we have questions about what the article was about I could just look at my annotations as a guide on what that certain topic was about. I may think that annotating is boring, but it really does help. I will definitely keep doing this because it helps me understand the article.


     My research skills have improved in the last quarter by having a lot of projects that involve researching. In those projects we had to use different websites and if we couldn't find what we were looking for we tried a different website. Two of the projects that involved research were Banned Books Week and the Poe Web quest. Some of the times I found it hard to find the information that I was looking for, but I just explored the website a bit more and eventually I'd find it. 


     In this class I learned a lot of new things about the world because of our article of the week. Some of the times I thought that I wasn't going to be interested in the topic but then I found it really interesting because sometimes they involved new laws, or violence that has happened in places that are near by. I remember reading about Syrian Refugees. The topic was really important because there was violence happening in their country and they were fleeing to other countries near by to get to safety. A lot of the articles were really interesting because some if the events were in our own country and I didn't know that was happening. This class is basically like our own news resource.
