  2. Today's activities were quite entertaining. I learned important steps on evaluating passages, while at the same time enjoying it with my humorous classmates. I also liked reading aloud and interacting with others. The examples benefited me to complete the exercises at the end. I am looking forward to future discussions.

  3. Be it learning how to write a proper essay or learning how to read aloud while in the proximity of your classmates, today's activities helped enhance my ability to write an essay in not only a proper format, but in a way that enables me to save up more time to look over my essay and proof read. Today's atmosphere was also a bit livelier, setting the mood to be jolly and ready, as well as willing to learn! Slowly but surely, everyone will come out of their shells and contribute more to the class discussions.

    3. Great job Kris, that's a wonderful attitude you're sporting there. Keep it up! :D

    2. Oh yeah John, you got that right. Nowadays, it seems as if 24 hours is just not enough. With that, we need to know how to be able to make the most out of our time, and one great way to start is by learning to stay organized. That way, not a minute is put to waste. Plus, staying organized fills up so much of our time that even procrastination won't get to us. Let's continue to stay focused you guys!

  5. On today's lesson, it refreshed my memory on summarizing, outlining, and underlining. Being able to read out loud during class also helped me get out of my shell because I am usually a shy person. Knowing that my classmates are cool and easy to get along with, I can't wait for more activities because my classmates were very funny. The exercise during class really helped me understand what annotating really is because I didn't even know what it was before. Looking forward to learn more yo!!

  7. Today's class session was awesome. It gave me ideas on how to improve my note takings and also, helped me understand ideas and details better. Since I did not have a book today, it was nice for Mel to share his book to me, for that I thank him. Now I should be more prepared to be in class next time. Hopefully I could be the one to share the book instead of me asking to share. It feels good to have people share their book with you. i have a great feeling about the next class session.
