Reading and evaluating internet resources. Go to the following web page:
http://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=2483
Looking at this page and perhaps other areas on the web site, evaluate using the following criteria from Chapter 12:Is this an appropriate site to use for an academic assignment?
Are there any clues that indicate it has credibility (or a lack of it)?
Was this article originally published in print?
Does the information seem accurate and reliable?
OR
Reflect on any aspect of the school semester. This should not be a redo of last week’s prompt. You can write about a specific class, something you learned about yourself, pretty much anything. HOWEVER, it should relate to your academic life and it should have a point and not just be a series of random thoughts.

We are quickly coming to the end of this semester. For this week's reflection prompt, I want you to look at the next few weeks. How are you doing in your classes? What do you need to do to continue to be successful? What challenges do you face? What have you learned about reading, study skills, or yourself in this class that will help you in the next few weeks?
As usual, please write a minimum of 250 words that address the prompt. You are also still responsible for your vocabulary and calendar and 'to do' list.
Your posts must be completed by Thursday, April 23rd at 9 p.m.
Who are you, who-who, who-who?

Week 4 of 6
Greek philosopher in Athens (469 BC - 399 BC)
Well, this may be something of an extreme statement but in reading education circles, there are many who might paraphrase this quote in this way:
If you don't spend time examining your life and the choices you make, you are less likely to make choices that will make your life better.
So this week (or two since we have spring break), we are going to examine who we are by taking one or more preference tests. There is a personality test, two right brain/left brain dominance tests, and a multiple intelligences test. These tests will allow you to see a different way of knowing yourself. By better understanding your personality or learning preference, you can make better choices with your education. At least, that's my theory! ;)
Go to the links in the sidebar named Online Preference Assessments. Take one or more of the online assessments and then answer the following reflection prompt:
Do the results of the assessment you took seem accurate to you? If so, why. If not, why not? Did you learn anything new about yourself?
THEN
Taking the results into consideration, reflect on how these might affect your approach to school--the good and the bad.
