In Language Arts I think I have most improved on is using the format TIQA. For the topic sentence I no longer repeat the same sentence for every paragraph, I have a different (but similar) one each time. For introducing the quote I don't say "The book stated." I now introduce what happened before or background information. For analyzing the quote I do not just say what the quote says, I explain it and go more in depth on why I chose the quote. I learned how to use this method in different papers.
Something I have accomplished since the new year was having time management. Especially in this class because we get many assignments throughout the week. On Mondays I annotate my Article of the Week. On Tuesdays I finish my write up on my AoW. On Wednesday I finish my blog. On Thursday I study for my vocabulary. On Friday, Saturday, or Sunday I write down my vocabulary words for the next week. Throughout the whole week I read five days. I have learned to manage my time best, and if a conflict occurs I fix my schedule.
I think my research skills have improved a lot. I know how to organize the facts I get into categories based on their website and importance. Color coding or bolding the text to make it stand out emphasizes important information or the answers to my questions. Numbering or sequencing the information really helps if you're going to do an essay because you know the order already. Finding the best website is a skill you need when researching, and just by looking at the url I know if it is reliable or not. With all these skills researching is a lot more efficient and easier to do.
