I, too, am a Sequence learner. I feel that Makayla has to have more confidence in herself first of all and secondly in her knowledge of the material. I often found myself doing worse that I thought I did on timed tests as well. I changed my strategy so now I will advise Makayla on what I changed. We do things in steps so the first thing is to read the question twice. The question is multiple choice so you already know three of the four choices are not the most correct. The first step is to eliminate the two most incorrect answers which narrows your choice down to two possible answers. I would now tell you to reread the question with your two possible answers. The first answer of the two that you think is correct…show more content… I found that I saw a couple of critical writing hints that I know will help me out. I think that one thing that I learned was that I definitely need to brainstorm ideas instead of trying to write about the one idea I have in mind. I should think of several ideas and see what I can do to get my point across. One idea means you are limiting yourself while many ideas can help you broaden you scope of thinking outside the box.
I had been taught my entire life to come up with an idea then write an opening paragraph. It is harder to do than you think. The idea that you can write a lot of your writing before adding a beginning paragraph is genius. It was always hard to find a topic then come up with a beginning paragraph that you could follow with a paper. I was always stuck at that point for what to write that wasn't limiting me on the content of the paper.
Critical Reading strategy that will help me in my current college endeavors is something I'm ready to explore. I believe that in order for me to retain what I'm reading I need to combine the reading with the learning processes that best prepare me. This means that I need to read my material once through without taking a note. The second time through the material I need to highlight or underline what I believe to be the highlights of the
