Reflection: The Magic of Talking To The Text (Christina Howard)
Every week, I ask students to journal on specific questions to enforce HIPs (time management, peer-to-peer learning, etc)
Last week, I spent 8 minutes "talking to the text" and "thinking-aloud". One question I asked them to respond to this week is: "What have you changed or reinforced in your study and preparation patterns since the start of the course?"
Look what some students shared!
On a side note, I really appreciate the time you took in lab last week to explain your thought process as to how you went through the reading in the Pierson text. I found it to be extremely useful and helpful to my own study methods, and I gratefully welcome any feedback you might have at any time in regards to your perceptions of my study patterns and performance.
I have revised my reading habits to include notes in the text next to things I don't understand so I can ask for help or go back and research more later. I also have been including my family members in recording me during practice with the ipad so I can get feedback. I feel I have been more successful with the readings this week and I feel like I have retained more than I would have. Thank you Christina for the tip last week on reading the text
I stole your reading activity while going through Ch. 23 in Cameron. It took a little longer, but I really felt like I had a better grasp on the material than I have before after just reading a chapter once. (Picture below!)
