Homeschool in January! (Goals and Intentions)

The amazing thing about homeschooling is flexible schedules. As many of you can relate, my schedule is busy and it gets hard to get all the tasks checked off the list.

I’ve been busy lately and I guess I don’t really know how to manage my time when it comes to social media and my studies. I guess I know what to add to my new year’s resolutions. But anyway, I’m so thankful to have to study ONE subject for finals (it’s precal) since all the other subject teachers replaced our final exams with performance tasks 😭

Btw, that apricot muffin was soooo good

This is so true! “Rock bottoms will teach you lessons that mountain tops never will” ❤️

I've been following you for a couple of years now and just now came back from my tumblr hiatus

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much~ It’s okay to be lost baby! I was there too! a year ago, I was at the rock bottom.. stopped believing in myself.. home sick and heart broken and cried like everywhere.. But just remember, that rock bottoms will teach you lessons that mountain tops never will… You may not able to see right now what is the purpose of what you’re going through right now, but take that time to evaluate yourself and become the person that you needed while you’re going through some rough patch ;* >(^_^)

The first day of early waking up well done. And I started my day with a book, I don’t have enough time to read it during the day that’s why I decided to get up earlier. On the French class we wrote the little composition at the first time. I thought that it wold be harder.

Officially moved in!  So my desk is relatively empty right now, but I guarantee that by Week 2 or 3, it will be covered in papers, pens, and post-its.

Abstract: a general overview of the paper’s content. It’s good to start here first, to sort of “seed” the ideas and concepts of the paper into your head.

Introduction: the general overview and setting of the paper. Sometimes you’ll find brief descriptions of key concepts or phrases

Methods: Read at the end, the technical jargon might be too heavy to for your to read this first.

Results:

Conclusion/Interpretation/Discussion: the hypothesis is either accepted or rejected. Reading the conclusion can help you decide if you want to spend your time reading the paper or not if you are looking for a specific method of doing something.

References: Read to familiarize yourself with the common titles, sources, and theories. 

Tip: Read the  Intro, and conclusion before you read the rest of the paper, its the fastest way of knowing what’s in the paper. 

Look out for the keywords key contribution and significant. 

Step by Step instructions: 

 Read Intro and Conclusion

 Identify the big question - what is this paper about?

Summarize the background in five sentences - why is this research important?

Identify specific questions - What exactly are the authors trying to answer with their research. 

Read methods

How do the results answer the specific question?

Read the conclusion section - Do the authors think that the results answered the big question?

Now read the abstract - did it match what happened?
