5 Tips for Success
Tip 5: Keep a list of Questions
When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help.. Remember, teachers create assignments; they’ve read the texts and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions. Your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.
Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, an to others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your material capacities more than almost anything else.
The philosopher Sir Frances Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book…and a pen.

Tip 3: Do research
Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytical and critical pieces on countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides. Going the extra mile in your research elevates your achievement 10-fold.
  Tip 4
  Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you are reading. You can often make sure what an unfamiliar word means. Rather than skipping to the next word you can find out what it means. The results are worth the effort.

3. Set Attainable goals
If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually. You can handle any project in small chunks.
4. Find a Social Support Network
Create a group of people around who want to help you succeed. Mentors can be teachers or family friends who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. Counselors can help you with planning your courses and starting to explore colleges. You can also reach out to friends and peers who motivate you by listening and sharing ideas.
5. Acknowledge Your Accomplishments
Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or task. Take a walk, send an email, get a snack. Then move on to the next project.

5 Tips For Staying Motivated


5 Tips for Staying Motivated
Tips 1-2

To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated, even when you really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the right track.
1.       Focus on High-Impact Activities
The key to success Is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then make a plan. Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignment first, those that take more time and effort are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from. Rearrange your time and devote more energy toward those that have the greatest impact on your course work and grades. For example, even though all homework
2.       Create new challenges
Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year, try a poem this time. For book reports, pick a history book instead of another biography.

Distance Education: Is A Virtual Classroom For You?
Part 3
Challenging Aspects of Distance Education
·      Lack of in-person interaction:  Some educators argue that both teacher-student and student-student contact are essential to learning.  In a distance-learning classroom, you may be able to participate in class discussions online in chat rooms, message boards or Web conferences – but it’s not the same as being with other students in a classroom.
·      Different levels of quality: Many distance-education programs supply an excellent learning experience, but others may not.
Research any program before signing on to make sure it’s rigorous enough. If you are choosing your own program, look into its accreditation before enrolling.
·      The need to self-start: Distance education lets you make your own schedules. If you have a hard time getting motivated, this might not be the ideal educational setting for you.

Distance Education: Is a Virtual Classroom For You?
Part 1

You may want to take a class that your high school doesn’t offer. Under some circumstances, you can still enroll in the class – through distance learning.
Distance education means taking a class without being physically present where it is being taught. Internet-base technology lets students participate in lecture and class sessions online from almost anywhere. Some high schools agree to recognize distance-learning credits when they don’t have the resources to offer a course themselves. Distance education is often used to increase options in rural areas and for AP ® courses.
  For you, it might mean doing self-tutorial at home in the evening, or participating I  a class that is in a class that is 1,000 miles away, along with another high school student. Check with your school counselor to see what’s available.

·      Start slowly; don’t commit to working a lot of hours immediately.
·      Avoid time conflicts by planning your class and work schedules as far ahead of time as possible.
