Startegy and Succes Blog

What I like about the class is the writing. I like writing free verse essays then structure essays. I also like the open discussion on Gilgamesh. It was a lot fun and to hear other class mates' opinions and their way of point of view at things in ways we might not see it. I also like it being read to. My period is a little bit rambunctious and wild but that's what makes this class or subject interesting.
I would have to say, one of my disappointments so far is my first essay. I love writing, but it was disappointing to see that grade affect my entire grade.
The way I study for vocabulary is by going over the first word and its definition then I go to the next one. After I go the second one, I go back to the first vocabulary word. Then I go through the second one and go onto the third one and work back to the first one. I keep doing that until I gone through all of the words. I don't know the time lengths but it depends on how many and how long the definition or definitions are. Sometimes the stories are not that interesting and hard to follow or sometimes hard to picture in my mind. Or sometimes the words are hard to understand.
Yes, I'm more of a visual person than hearing or the other things that were listed. For example, I don't know if I pronounce the vocabulary words correctly so there fore if you say a vocabulary word out loud, I might not know the definition because of they way I practiced saying it.
