I agree with this

The self-assessment portion of the class is something I've never experienced in school and is taking some time to get comfortable with

What is unlearning?

This relates back to last semester when learning about "code switching" and what it actually means to be literate.

I've always been told that if I wanted to go to college I'd have to make a lot of "sacrifices" which never seemed fair to me either.

Putting things in my on words helps me better understand what I'm reading and to better direct what I'm saying to my intended audience.

I like the idea because this is how I organize in my day to day

Learning how to do this this semester has really helped me

I didn't know about this. Teachers have always discouraged us even clicking on Wiki

We'e practiced this in class!

This is a new technique I will implement into the CRAP test

I never thought to search the opposite term to expand. I will definitely be using this when researching.

Knowing who to look for on campus is really helpful, I'm glad this is added

and making sure those sources are credible

I have fond that while researching topics I tend to ask a question that will lead me to find the answer to only one side of the topic

I agree but I am ready to get over that fear

Let the reader know what you are going to write about but dont give it all away in the thesis

I never thought of an introduction in that way and this description of it makes so much since and will be keeping this in mind while writing

The audience has already read your paper so instead of repeated your points try and tie it all together and make a greater contention in your conclusion

A counter argument is always good to include and I have definitely found myself switching my opinion after further research of an opposing idea of the one I started with

This is a good visual way to remember

When you paraphrase you are also able to word the information in a way that better suits your intended audience

When I identify what the purpose of my writing will be, it helps me form my thesis statement or main idea

Knowing who your intended audience will change the way you write and how to engage the reader through your writing

I will be keeping this in mind while writing

These are very important to include in any good writing

This is my main way of spell check for my writing

I like the idea of revising based on the hierarchy

I will work on having strong topic sentences and not just summarizing what I written in my conclusion

After peer reviews and feedback, I can say I definitly looked at my paper with "fresh eyes"

This is why it is so important to take good notes and annotate. Something I have to remind myself still

I have already noticed I am applying things I have learned in this class, in terms of writing, to my other courses such as science and math

I can't remember a specific experience but I do remember getting great feedback from my peers that was actually very helpful. It would help to have a pair of "fresh eyes" on my paper to catch any spelling or grammar errors I may have missed. Also having someone else read my thoughts and making comments would help me understand what it is that my paper is saying to the reader. I have definitely had negative experiences where during peer review the person wouldn't give feedback and wouldn't correct anything. so that wasn't very helpful

I tend to do this because sometimes when researching a counterargument you will often find more information on your topic

This method isn't something I would use for my own writing but I can see how it may work for others

Something I am learning to implement while writing for my introduction and conclusions is the TEA method. I could also improve on my conclusions by not summarizing what I have just written

This way of organizing my thoughts before writing seems to make the most sense to me.

The process I go through when I write a paper is I begin with brain storming what I want the main idea to be and what I want to talk about in my paper. I then usually just jump straight into my first paragraph, writing my thesis and/or main idea really helps me to determine the structure of my paper from there. Throughout writing my paper I try to make sure I am connecting what I am writing to the main topic and making sure everything flows. I re-read my work as I go along. In my conclusion, I re-read my whole essay and summarize the main points and the take away from my paper.

This is circling back to how making connections while reading will help you understand the text

I also do this for annotating. It proves to be super helpful when looking back on notes an finding things quickly

The strategies are something I should keep in mind as I continue to make myself a better reader since I tend to not comprehend what I'm reading.

I tend to skim and/or scan text but need to remember that it is not the entire reading process but only a "pre-reading" step

This quote reminded me of family sacrifice.The older generation had to give up so much. They had to survive to live and make a life here.
