Blog 14: Ideas for Improving my Performance in the CATW

Ways that we can improve on our annotation of the reading:
- underline important ideas
- organize your ideas
- ask questions
- underline words you don't know
- underline topic sentences

Ways that we can improve on our response to the reading:
- Be organized
- Have a structure
- Elaborate on your examples
- Use words such as For instance, In another case to give reader examples

Transitions that would help us organize our CATW better:
- Sentence one should be your topic sentence
- Sentence two provides specific detail/examples as a restatement of the first. It "opens up" the first sentence.
- Use Further, Besides, Equally important, Finally as some of the transition words

After doing this excersice things that were emphasized was to include quotes from the passage, use transitional words to connect your idea, use at least two examples from your personal experience and to explain in details. Also to check your passage over again for spelling/grammar mistakes.

After reading the comment posted by Ellie, I learned in the summary you have to address who, what and why and to just proofread for grammar mistakes.
