Reading

This week we focused on strategies that would help us on reading assignments. Julie and Jessica both tried the X minute reading strategy and found it very helpful. Julie used it for her Health and Wellness 121 course and liked this strategy because it helped her focus on the main ideas of the text. It helped her see the important parts of the readings in an organized way and she will continue to use this strategy in future classes. Jessica used the X minute reading strategy in her CRS 183 course. She also found it very helpful to pick out the most important information. It also helped her to see what the professor might as on the final exam. I used the My Poem Reads Dandy strategy in my DRA 115 course. I found this strategy very helpful because when I read I have trouble paying attention to what I am reading. This strategy allowed me to take brakes in the reading so I was able to refocus and pay attention when I was reading. The graphic organizer at the end helped me to prepare for the exam because I was able to look back at it later.
