Now I remember

I had a school assignment and the assignment was for every student to remember a poem called "Richard Cory". And I used two strategies to remember the poem. The first strategy I used was to search up a video of someone reading Richard Cory and listening to that person read it over and over and over again so it would get stuck in my head and it did!!!!! But I still wanted to remember it word by word.So what I did was to write it don't a few time to see if i truly memorized the poem and I did. those are the methods I used to remember a something.









An explanation of how using one or more of the memorization strategies we discussed helped 

How I Read

Growing up I really struggled with reading. I never liked reading,reading was boring because the teachers would make us read a boring ass book that no one wanted to read but we had to if we wanted to pass our test.And since I didn't like to reading I didn't develop those reading skills. What I can say is reading a book that you find fascinating and interesting will make you want to read a book. A example of a book I read and loved was called 'Ivan the silver back gorilla". And for the first time EVER I pictured the reading in my head I felt like I was there. Some books I prefer reading are touching, scary, and fascinating books those will make me want to read.

Getting To Know You

Getting to know someone is important because you don't know what some people go through on a day to day bases. Also never judge someone just because their shirt is dirty,wear the same outfit everyday, where they live etc because you don't know what they are going through. what if he/she is a really intelligent,creative,bright person but people that don't know what they are going through will just laugh at them and make them feel like dog Shit.

THE FIRST 50 PAGES

So I just read the first 50 Pages of this book called "Braking Through". And in the story it introduces us to panchito and his family that live in Santa Maria,California. Every day panchito and his family lived in fear of getting caught by ICE and get deported back to mexico. And one day while panchito was in El Camino Jr ICE came into his classroom to take him and then ICE went to Santa Maria High School to pick up his brother Roberto and then to his house to get the rest of his family. Then they get deported to mexico.But Panchito and his brother Roberto came back to the US and they were home alone for a few months while their parents got the right paper work so they can come back. While they are home alone they have to wake up early to go to work at the fields and pick carrots.before and after school they works so they can have food and sent money to their family back in mexico. Panchito worked at the fields and Roberto found a job as a janitor At Main Street School. In early April his mom and dad came come back from mexico.But they still have to work Everyday from Monday to Sunday. And that's a short summary of the first 50 Pages of the book I am reading.

FOR THE WIN

What I have done in this course is my Thinking skills have improved.The reason I say this is because the questions that are on the website require some deep thinking and if it’s not deep thinking it still requires some thinking to answer the journal topics .And when I look back at my journal from the first week of school to now I see improvement in my thinking and that makes me proud of myself.

HACK TO SCHOOL

I am personally not going to back to school night because I feel like its a elementary thing. But if I was going to go to back to school night I would bring my dad because he is not working right now and my mom is usually busy with work. The people that support me in my academic are the same people I known my whole and that's my family.
