What I want to Learn

One thing I want to learn more about in this class is how to read better. What I mean by this is, being able to catch things when I read. This could be context clues or anything that the author has written to let the reader know something. I feel like whenever I am reading I don’t take in much information, I more so just say the words in my head. I have a bad habit of zoning out while reading and it tends to hurt me when I end up getting tested on it. So one thing that would be cool would just be able to get some tips and tricks on how to become a better reader. Although I do realize that to become a better reader you just have to read more but I just wanted to know if there is anything else that I could be using to benefit myself while reading. I feel like I am an alright writer but I tend to not be able to make my sentences flow and connect. One thing I’d like to work on is becoming a better writer when it comes to making my papers flow better instead of seeming kind of choppy, like this one. The last thing I always forget is what punctuation is used for each situation. I think if I were able to know how to use punctuation better, then this would help my papers be better in every way and not seem as repetitive. Those are the things that I would like to learn still in this class.
