Tip 3: research

Literacy critics have written vast numbers of analytical and critical piece on countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to stay about it. In addition to increase your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly source, not conversed study guides. Going the extra mile in your research elevates your achievement 10-fold.

Tipb4: 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 using context clues, but sometimes you can’t .rather than simply skipping over words you don’t know, take 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.

Reading and writing go hand in hand. The better you understand a text, the more likely you are to successfully communicate your thoughts about it in writing. So it’s important to develop strong skills in both areas. With that in mind, here’s how to improve your reading comprehension.

Tip 1 : annotate

Be an active reading. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes about important story element, key factual information and significant ideas in the text.

Tip 2: notes the author’s writing style

Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate method to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you’re reading, look for patters in the author’s writing. For example, you may notice a repetition of key words, phrases or symbols- or the use of a distinct type of sentence structure.

To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best all time. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the right track.

1. Focus on high- impact activities

The key to success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make a plan. Though it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from.

To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in the order of their importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy towards those that have the greatest impact on your course work and grades. for example , even though all homework assignments  are important, studying for midterms exams takes priority over writing a paragraph for English class. As you complete each task, think of it as another step on your way to college success.

2. Create new challenges

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an s=assignment similar to the one you have done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year, try a poem this time. For book reports, pick a history book instead of another biography.

Take advantage of any free time

If you have a study period or a long bus ride, use the time to review notes, prepare for an upcoming class or start your homework. Flash cards are a great learning tool. They are easy to make, easy to handle, and are a marvelous tool to help you learn and remember anything. Punch a hole in the upper left corner of each index card and connect the stack of your flash cards with a ring. Then the cards are bound and not flopping around. Flash cards bound like this act like a small book with pages. you can even have separated ringed stacks for each subject. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO REMEMBER, PUT IT ON A CARD.

Study with a friend.

Get together with friends and classmates to quiz each other compare notes and predict test questions. Consider joining a study group.

Communicate

If you have concerns about the amount or type of homework you have, you may want to talk to your family, teachers or counselor. They can help you understand how much time you need a allot for homework and how to manage your task.

Celebrate your achievements

Reward yourself for hitting milestones or doing something well.

Once you’ve done all of the above, you’ll find you’ve created your own personalized study guide. Cover the main section of the page and use the key words and questions in the left margin as a quiz.

Stick to It

Review your notes the day you take them and all your notes once a week. That way, you won’t need to study as much when it’s test time.

You’ve been doing the work all along.

Try out the Cornell system, but if it doesn’t work for you, experiment with other methods. Ask your classmates how they take notes or ask a teacher for advice. Taking good notes requires practice, like any other skill. And the more you work at it now, the more prepared you’ll be to take notes in college.

One approach that has been proven effective is called the Cornell Note-Taking System. Here are some of its methods.

Start by using the main section of your page to take down your notes during class. Be sure to leave space on the left side of the page and the bottom. Things keep in mind:

1.       Get the speaker’s main points. Don’t write down every word you hear.

2.       Leave blanks in your notes to add explanations later.

3.       Organize as you write. Pay attention to cues such as repetition and emphasis.

4.       Indicate main and supporting points as you go.

5.       Jot down key vocabulary, important facts and formulas.

6.       Ask questions. If you’re confused, it’s better to ask while the material is fresh in your mind.

Emphasis on the written

Most of the communication, as well as the course work, in distance- learning classes are written. That’s a plus, because the focus on the written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a write – and strong writing skills are essentials to academic success. However, if writing is a serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best education is the written word; therefore, you need to be a good reader, love to read, and love writing also. Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in the written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentence above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online access with reliable equipment. If you Internet communications at home aren’t working, you can’t do online education from home and will need to go to someplace where you do have access to the Internet  

Decide Whether It’s Right for You

Distance education isn’t for everyone, but it just might be for you. You really should seek it out and give it a try. You never know until you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. While distance education may be the perfect alternative for some students, it’s not the right choice for everyone. So carefully consider your unique needs and interests and give distance education a try; then decide if it’s right for you

Challenging aspects of distance education

·       Lack of in-person interaction : some educators argue that both teachers –students and student-student contact  are essential to learning. In a distance – learning classroom , you may be able to participate in class discussions online in a chat rooms , message boards or web conference but it’s not the same as being with other students in a classroom.

·       Different levels of quality : many distance – education programs supply an excellent learning experience , but others may not. Research any program before signing on to make sure it’s accreditation befor enrolling.

·       The need to self- start : distance education lets you make your own schedules. If you have a hard time getting motivated , this might not be the ideal education setting for you

Positive Aspects of Distance Education

·         Independence and time management: taking courses online lets you hone your ability to work on your own. You also gain experience in managing your time efficiently.

·         A flexible schedule: Schools can only provide a certain number of class periods in a single school day, and there may not be enough time for you to take everything you want. Because distance education lets you take classes outside regular school hours, it gives you the flexibility to explore all your areas of interest.

·         Advance and specialize classes: Some schools can’t provide advanced or specialized classes. Distance education gives you the chance to gain experience in are areas that would otherwise remain out of reach.

You may want to take a class that your high school doesn’t offer. Under some circumstances, you can still enroll in the class—through distance learning.

Distance education means taking a class without being physically present where it is being taught. Interne-based technology lets students participate in lectures and class sessions online from almost anywhere.

Some high schools agree to recognize distance-learning credits when they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves. Distance education is often used to increase options in rural areas and for AP courses.

For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the evening, or participating in a class that is 1,000 miles away, along with other high school students. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.

Additional Tips

Although working and going to school is challenging, it can be a rewarding experience if you use some foresight. These tips can help you handle the situation and make the most of your time:

· Discuss your plans with your family. Balancing the demands of school and work is easier with their support.

· Start slowly; don’t commit a lot of hours immediately.

· Avoid time conflict by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.

· Use your time efficiently. You can use 10 minutes waiting in a line to go over as few pages of assigned reading. If your job has a lot of downtime and your boss has no objection, you can use slow periods to do schoolwork.

· If you commute to your job on public transportation, bring your schoolwork with you so you can work along the way.

· Be flexible and willing to make sacrifices. You may have to cut down on some other things you’d like to do because of your school and work commitments.

· If you have too much on your plate, admit it. Then cut back as needed.

· Schedule relaxation time. Everyone needs some downtime to stay happy and healthy.
