Active Reading

My Experience Reading This Paper 

 

I honestly had a hard time understanding this paper, as I am not used to reading academic papers whatsoever, so it was a new experience for me. I am also unfamiliar with the subject, which makes it very hard to comprehend and have no knowledge on the subject the paper was about, so it was hard to find any valuable information even after multiple reads. From what I could understand, the paper talked about what is the best way to retain information and how some people suggest that retention is automatic with comprehension while others suggest the retention is influenced by interactive factors. Personally, I feel like it depends on the person but for me when I do interact learning or studying, I retain information better than if I was to just learn it off, I also feel like I retain and can information quicker and study for a longer period when I am doing interactive study. I think this paper was primarily aimed at teachers and educators as it talks about encouraging active reason in students and how to apply different active reading techniques and self-questioning for students, so they can better retain information while they study.

This was the first time I had entered a design competition and I didn’t expect to win but I got invited to the second stage where they were g...

 This week my group as sat down, and we have decided which sub-topic we will each be talking about when discussing online shaming and cancel culture. The sub-topic I have chosen to talk about is people who have been cancelled and was it justified, for this topic I will mainly be focusing on celebrities who have been cancelled online and how they dealt with it and how it affected their career. Other subtopics we have chosen to discuss were what social media platforms does online shaming take place on and the effect of online shaming and cancel culture on people’s mental health. We haven’t decided how the script will be laid out yet, so we decided to each do our own sub-topic done first and figure it out after because at least then we will have most of the script done.   I have also taken on the role of editor for this project as I have experience in graphic design and video editing and it something I enjoy doing, I will also be teaching some of my group the basics of editin...
