I am ready to show you how I learned this week. Well this week was very busy and it seemed like I had no time. But best believe I had to find the time because on my agenda, school is my life and in order to be successful I needed to do all my assignments. So I brought L.A.M.E. into the picture again because this truly helps solve the problems.
L.A.M.E. means.......
Learner
Action
Materials
Evaluation
First, I found what kind of learner I was
Second, I put how I learn to action and figured out what is the best way for me to learn
Third, I went through many different trails for learning strategies to see which one I was interested in
Fourth, Then I found the strategy that helped me learn and I made great use of it
......GET L.A.M.E IN YOUR HEAD, this is truly good medicine.....
Remember, "If you continue to do what you have always done, then you will continue to get what you have always gotten." - Dr.Blumin
I find myself using this quote and L.A.M.E more each week because these sayings really do have me thinking about how productive and am I really getting all that I need out of my classes.
I chose Ranking Priorities this week. When I looked on the calender this week for the homework I saw ranking priorities! Right there I thought to myself, wow I really do need that. So I continued to do the homework and when I got to it I read to see how this was going to turn out since I had so much to do in only one week. First, I listed everything I had to do this week and it wasn't in any particular order. Then, I started ranking them from A to C with a circle around the letters, meaning A most important and C least important. Finally, I did the same steps and as well as the numbers; which 1 means most important and 3 least important. To spice my paper up because it looked so dull, I used highlighter colors orange, yellow, and green. I colored the circles in and coordinated them by how important and the number. I made C orange, B yellow, and A green to make it clear what was the most important. Oh wow I really learned from where my priorities fell on the list.
On the list I used general things I had to do as well as the school work. I used this strategy for all of my courses including CLS, WRT, and AAS and I found that from now on I will do more of this. Now I can use this like a shopping list which makes the process easier and quicker.
Ranking Priorities List 1
* In the next picture, I made a new list of all the Priorities and combined the numbers and the letters so this will be clear to me.
Ranking Priorities List 2
I chose this strategy because I needed to find a way to be productive. What better way to be productive, then to list out all the things you need to do and see what is really important. Well this really helped me and I will continue to use this strategy. I am a person who can follow a list of things to do better then it being on a calender, so I took full advantage of this strategy. This makes me see what needs to be done in an order that I am familiar with. This week I enjoyed this strategy because I could rate to it and it was short and to the point.
Remember what helps for me may not help for you so find what fits you and go for it.
Hey Karima :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you used Ranking Priorities. Not only did you use it for school assignments but for errands as well. I also liked what you did with it as a final product. You organized them in a neat way. Now I'm going to try what you did. Also, good use of Blumin's quote. I always have it in my head. Another thing, the colors do catch the attention so continue doing that.
Good job ! See you tomorrow!
Karima,
ReplyDeleteFirst, I love your posts! They're so colorful and fun! You explained the technique really well. While we did the same technique, you put activities outside of homework on there, which I didn't do. That helps with not only school, but with everyday life! I'm going to start putting things I need to do outside of school on my list from now on to become even more organized.Great idea! It seems like this really helped you.

I as well did some kind of color coordination as well to help me as well as a final draft of the strategy and places all of the assignments in ranking order, I think that was such a good idea and helped so much. Im really glad that you specified LAME this time, that was really helpful to read. And visually it looks great! You did a really good job this week, keep it up girl!
