Blog 6: Personal Directions for The CATW

1. On the day of the test I need to sleep for about 9 hours.
I will drink some coffee
In the test I will start by reading the article and then after I read it I will read it again and on the second time I will start underlining or high lighting the main Idea of the article, important ideas, and words and anything else I don't understand. After that I will start free writing anything that comes to my mind about the article. After I finish free writing I will then read everything I wrote and pick out anything that might help me write the essay. I will then after I do that I will begin the write the essay on a scrap piece of paper, so if I have any mistakes or If I want to change anything I can change it and it won't look sloppy on my final essay. During the essay I will remember to include name of the article as well as the name of the author, I need to have the paragraphs well developed There needs to be an opening paragraph and 2 body paragraphs and a conclusion. When I fishing writing the essay and I read it and see that everything I want is in there, check if there is any miss spelled words. After I finish checking my essay I will then start writing the final essay, making sure not to make any mistakes so It can look nice and clear. My hand writing needs to very clear and people need to able to understand it. When I finish writing the final essay I will review it to see if everything is correct and to see that I didn't miss anything, or didn't miss spell any words. If all Is good I will be the with the essay and I will give it in to the professor. 
2. During the test I need to be careful with  no copying anything from the article because I end up doing that and then I get my opening paragraph wrong. I also need to make sure I don't miss spell any words like writing, I usually end up spelling it like this "Writting". I need to also make sure I put in the name of the article and the name of the author too, because people need to see where I am getting all of this information from, I also need to put if I agree or disagree with what the article is saying. I also I have problems developing the essay, like I use the same example twice but slightly different but it still ends up being the same thing. 
3. What I plan to do to help myself overcome these problems that I have during the test, is that I am going to write more essays and see if the problem is still there, I will also have a dictionary with me so I can see how to spell the words that I always end up miss spelling.
