Day One

Situation: Writing a paper

Metacognitive Strategies: I planned to write about an experience from one of my travel journals. While reading the entries, I identified some of them as being too brief. I needed an entry with more detail. I was able to choose an appropriate entry by continuing to monitor my reading. I had cleared my calendar for the day in order to focus my attention on the task.

Task-Based Strategies: The assignment required me to relate a new concept to my experience, thus personalizing it. I recalled the experience in my mind as I was reading my journal. I used Goggle's translation tool and my own bilingual dictionary to spell the Spanish words I had chosen to use.
