Continuing Ideas

Class today went really well! I think everyone is understanding what continuing ideas are. As you read Reading 1 over the weekend, make sure to circle the continuing idea markers and then underline the continuing idea they are referring to! You also might want to start studying for the vocab quiz!

You guys did a great job with your summaries! I'm enjoying learning more about you!

Enjoy your weekend!

Welcome to class!!

Hello Students! What a great first day! I think we are going to have a wonderful semester! My goal is to prepare you guys to be successful in all of your Harding classes. I really enjoyed learning more about you.

Some of the skills you guys want to improve on include: increasing reading speed, working on grammar in sentences, finding the key word, figuring out the main idea, figuring out what a word in a sentence means, and being able to read without using a dictionary to look up every word.

For the 1st blog assignment due on THURSDAY before class I want you to write a short summary about yourself. Tell me what you profession/career you are interested in. At the end include what you want to learn in this class. Here is an example:

My name is Meg Eddins. My life is centered around the church. My greatest wish is for my family and friends to be christians. I have been married to my husband (who I met while I was a student at Harding!) for almost 9 years. We have 3 beautiful, compassionate, energetic, kind daughters. I was a teacher and I love everything about teaching. I hope this class will help you to learn the skills needed to be a strategic reader.
