Anne Ketch discusses the value of conversation as a strategy for reading and writing comprehension and metacognition across subjects. Specifically, she details seven cognitive strategies which form the basis of what are essentially good reading and learning habits.

These strategies should be explicitly modeled and taught by the teacher, practiced and used continuously…

The question of reparations addresses the problem of distributive justice delivered to black American’s for the better time frame of 250 years, through slavery and post slavery.

I approroach this week’s reading by printing everything out so I will have all course work and chapters in front of me. Then I read the entire chapter taking note in my own word so I can understand them better. When I have all my notes and key headings marked out, I read the assignments to see if I read the answer.

I even reread my notes a couple of time to make sure they make sense, but before I do any type of finial paper I search the library to find more info if I quite don’t understand.…
A sufficient amount of time needs to be dedicated to studying to achieve the best outcome. Effective study skills may also help with issues such as confidence and organisational skills which are used in every day activities some students take notes whilst they are reading to help them understand what they are reading.

Knowing how our memory works can help us learn better by writing down our thoughts so that we don't forget them. For instance, during my down time at work, I may decide to work on a discussion question and can easily get distracted by questions from my teammates or writing out an email.

In order to fully comprehend the information learned, practicing and reviewing is crucial. By practicing and reviewing course content, the success of understanding the information will be within arm’s reach.

Repeating words or sentences from lessons or homework, is one way to move information from short term to long term memory. As well redoing math problems or homework, which is a great way to better recognize how something is done, or should be done after getting the wrong answer.

When someone reads, their brain is exercising from all the thinking that’s happening. Instead of staring at the computer screen, reading increases one's vocabulary and writing skills. Whenever I stumble over an unfamiliar word, I jot it down, look it up, and add it to my mental dictionary.…
