Chapter 5 ~ Reflection

Reading chapter 5, I learned the name of something I was doing all my life. Previewing is something I've done all my life but didn't realize what it was called. Previewing is a quick way of familiarizing yourself with the organization on context that is written on the material before reading it. Frequently testing yourself is a good way to know the material you are reading. I knew about asking yourself questions and answering them but it was never a habit that it would always slip my mind when I finished reading the material.

Chapter 4 ~ Reflection

Chapter 4 was very useful to me. This chapter was a review for me. I knew most of the information but it gave me a better understanding of the subject. I'm glad i got to read it because from now on it is going to help me in the future with my work. Chapter 4 had a lot of information about prefixes, root, and suffix. Now I know where to go when I need help on this topic.

Chapter 5 ~ Health Today

The new generation is addicted to technology. Every child is somehow linked to today's technology. Whether it is texting, calling, going on facebook, or even listening to music on your ipod, everyone is connected to technology. Texting or calling while driving is a very important subject these days. About 25 percent of all car accidents are caused by texting or calling while driving. People don't realize how dangerous it is until they experience it first hand. I could relate to that because I text and drive all the time. Every time I text and drive I'm putting my self in danger but I guess just like other people I won't realize how dangerous it is until I experience it myself.
