Saw A Cloud With A Slight Rainbow In It The Other Day 🌈

yay i love challenges! i’ll be attempting this starting today :)

~Spell-Studies Fall 2020 Challenge~

~Spell-Studies Fall 2020 Challenge~

I love making challenges, and I thought that having daily prompts would be the best way to help keep track of the days!  I tried to pick fairly easy ones that way they are fun and lighthearted!  

Here are the parameters of the challenge!  The prompts will run Monday through Friday, so that weekends can be off days if you wish.  If you would like to also do the weekends as well I have prompts for those as well but they won’t be numbered rather they will be under “End of week one”, etc. Each prompt will have a corresponding date that way everyone can keep track!  Post daily or sum it all up on one big post (weekly, monthly, the whole thing!  

This challenge is about having fun and staying connected during the upcoming quarantined semester.  I know the prospect of entirely online school looks like an absolute drag to me, so let’s do something to stay connected through it all!  Hope all you lovelies enjoy!  Please tag me and the challenge too! I’ll be following #QuarantineFallStudyChallenge and #heyspell-studies feel free to @ me too!  Alright!  Down to the dates!

How I Annotate Non-Fiction Books:

Step one gathering supplies. The supplies you need will be based on your needs and the text you are annotating so feel free to fit this to your need or habits.

For physical books: highlighters, pens, sticky notes, page flags, index cards, the book/document

For digital books: your device or choice (might do an in depth post of digital texts later)

step two- creating your key

For small documents, I tend to stick to one color (each of my classes are assigned a single color).

For Longer documents, with lots of information, I will create a key for example:

keys should be based on what information is most important. In my history classes dates and names are more important whereas in a science class terms and chemical formulas may be most important.

You should also keep in mind why you are reading the book/document. For example: Are you reading to write a book report? Then it would be best to highlight the thesis and any points you wish to bring up in your review.

some parts of your key will most likely not need writing down after they become habit, for example after highlighting an important term, I will underline the definition of the term. (I personally tend to under highlight)

very important highlighted text will also get a page flag so that it is easier to find when reviewing, write a review, etc.

step three- your first read through

break the reading into smaller segments, for example. if you are reading a textbook or information-dense book you may wish to use headings or subheadings as your guide for this. if your text is not already broken into smaller section resign yourself to summarizing after every few paragraphs

You can write your summaries in whatever way suits you, your habits, or the book you are working with.

For this book I am writing my summaries in index cards, but I could have written them in sticky notes, or in a notebook (physical or digital.) I have tried all of these techniques and I like them all and tend to switch between them.

On the back of my summary cards, I write the page numbers the information was pulled from so that I can more quickly find the information if I need to quote it.

Feel free to ask questions in the replies or in my asks!

here is my lil yoga corner! i took up yoga during quarantine and i acquired enough stuff to want a box to keep it all in :)

august 31st: what is your favorite thing about school?

definitely the actual learning. i love the feeling when i’ve realized i’ve learned something new and i can now share that with other people! with online school tho, i really like the fact that i now have the time to exercise, do yoga, meditate, and otherwise take care of myself
