Mark twain

Reflection: this post is saying to always do what is right no matter what because if you don’t do what is right, you are doing something wrong, and that’s not right. Choose the right

More tips

Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

·         Read the website homepage and about us page. Look for a a mission statement to learn more about the site, its purpose and the organization sponsoring it.

·         If there is an author listed, look for a biography that discuss the authors education, profession and other revelent background. If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere on the web.

·         Check dates. Facts can change over time, so see if the site shows when it was last updated.

·         Presentation counts; look at everything from design to spelling. A clean, well-organized sight shows a certain degree of professionalism.

·         Avoid sites that are pornographic, vulgar, inappropriate, below bar, suggestive, and falsify.

Using the web wisely

Thanks to the web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to
post something online.  Anyone can do it.
You’ve probably used the internet to do research for a paper, to help you
decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events.
Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do
online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust.
Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others
present information in a biased way – they only give one side of an
argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable one?
Appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste,
untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good name for
you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to
the world.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!

“When an archer misses a target , he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit bulls-eye is never the fault of the fault of the target. To improve your aim, improve yourself.”

-Gilbert Arland

Reflection: this post is saying that if you want to make a change, you need to change yourself first.

“The first law of success… is concentration; to bend all energies into one point, and go directly into that point, looking neither to the right nor left.”

William Mathews

Reflection: that if you need to get something done or you want to reach a goal, you should keep your eye on the prize and never glance away because someone might pop out and take it from you.

Question

As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here’s how you can create questions:

·       Turn the title, headings or subheadings into questions.

·       Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your questions for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs and illustrations—these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.
