The working notebook is the daily notebook taken to class. It holds all the papers and information needed each day. Any three-ring binder can serve as a working notebook; the nylon zippered type tends to last longer. Your working notebook should contain:

• A portable three-hole punch
• A zippered pouch with three holes to hold highlighters, pencils, pens, clips, "sticky notes", and other small supploes 
• A monthly calender
• A ruler
• Section dividers for each subject labed homework, notes. handouts, and quizzes/test
• An assignment book

These items are avaliable at most office supply stores in a three-hole punched format so they can be easily inserted into the notebook. This is important, because if the items are not attached to the notebook, they will get lost in backpacks or left at home or school.
One working ntoebook for all of your childs classes might be too large for some students,especially if they are in high school. Two medium size notebooks with two or three subjects ine ach is alternative to one large notebook. Morning classes might be placed in one, and afternoon classes might be placed in another.
Whichever alternative note above that you choose, the important thing is that on a daily, you should date, three- hole punch and file any of his school papers under the appropriate divider for each subject, You should also note assignments in detail in his assignment book.

Information

Thanks to the internet, people have more access to more information than at any other time in history. People can instantly find information on almost any topic in the time it takes to type a couple of words and click a mouse. But we often know so little about the source of this information, including its reliability and the qualifications of the person who wrote it. If we don't know its source, information is not much good to us.
1. Do people need to know the source of any information before they use it?
I think they should know the source to tell if it is reliable or not
2. Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your postition with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

When gathering information from the internet you should always check if it is reliable or not. Using information that is not reliable may be something bad.Searching up a certain topic and later being mis informed is not good for the further future.

While writing something like a research paper or something and you need to look up a certain something it should always be from a website that is legit. Wikipedia is a great source of information and such. If you get false information you are misinforming yourself and others. Some may realize it is false or incorrect and you will get called out on it.

Checking on information throughly is a good way to tell if it is reliable or not. Getting information from any random site that doesn't seem too confirming is a good way to tell how good your information will be. Looking up something and find a the information stating the same thing is a good way to tell aswell. There are many sorts of ways to tell if information will be reliable or not before you confirm with yourself that the information is correct.

False information will bring many downsides to what you know about a topic. There might be many people who are not aware that there is false information or misleading information in the internets. This means that thee are many people out there who do no know the correct information. This is way you should always check your sources to make sure the information is reliable.

Getting reliable information is very important at the end. Knowing false information is not good. When looking up information, that is why you should always make sure its correct. It is best for every especially the person being informed about a topic.

Essay

Many colleges now offer courses in which students study television programs, comic books, magazines, advertising, and other aspects of popular culture. Critics complain that schools should not replace serious literature and history courses with such fluff. They claim that courses in popular culture present material that is trivial and inconsequential. But the study of popular culture can be just as important, demanding and instructive as the study of traditional subjects.


I don't think popular culture is as valuable as traditional literary and historical subjects. Traditional literary and historical subjects have much more meaning to what would be our popular culture today. Our popular culture doesn't focus on many things besides looks and such. Back then certain things meant much more than they do today.It has  a lot of meaning and more worthy thing to know about than it currently does.


Now a days things don't have to mean much to become popular. Any little thing that a celebrity does becomes popular. I would say back then things were for realistic and were more important. Today things do become popular but sometimes it isn't because they are good. There is a lot of bad media put out there for everyone to see and is not beneficial at all.

Learning about the popular culture, then again, is something that sometimes might be worth it. It would help us out in the future when what we are learning today would be history for people in the future. Learning about our popular culture now will help us advance in the future and to discover new things.

I would consider traditional literary and historical subjects more
 important by far than popular culture. It has more meaning to what was done and is something that has been passed down by generations. Even though popular culture now is more important to most people i think the past is something we should know about. This is because we should know why things are the way they are at the moment and why things were done and so on.

Popular culture as of right now i say would never be as valuable or worthy to the same level as traditional literary and historical subjects. Historical subjects made a big impact in the world. They also made change to what our country is like right now. This is something important to know and meaningful.

Time Management

Master the moments and you may be a real pro when it comes to juggling the many demands on your time – classes, homework and activities – with some family help. College gives you an even bigger chance to sharpen your time management skills by doing it all on your own. And that’s a good thing since most jobs require multitasking. You might need to take care of current clients while attracting new ones, respond to e-mails while working on a major presentation, or order tomorrow’s produce while planning next week’s menu.

Someone said, “Wherever you are, be there.” Focus on the present moment and give it all your attention. Don’t let your mind drift and wander here and there when you need to be thinking and concentrating on the moment at hand. You can’t go back and recapture this moment, so make the most of it while it NOW. Master the present and you will master the future. Work smart by mastering the present moment.]

Attention to Detail 7 of 10

Attention to Detail

7 of 10

When you double-check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill comes in handy in any workplace, whether you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write e-mails.

            John Wooden, UCLA’s former great basketball coach who led his team to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributes his success to. Among a number of things, he mentioned that paying attention to detail was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie their shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly, he would teach them how.

Details may be small things, but from small things come great things; therefore, pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational  attain

Cool under pressure 6 of 10

Cool under pressure

6 of 10

Very few students enjoy taking tests. Yet functioning well under pressure is crucial to your future success. Try thinking of the pressure of testing as practice for the work world’s own explosive situations.  You could someday find yourself meeting tight deadlines, speaking with irate customers, wielding a scalpel or handling dangerous chemicals.

The best way to curtail pressure and to even eliminate it is to prepare. Applying the motto “Be Prepared” holds true first time and every time. Prepare for that test, and you won’t worry about it. In fact, it will be your chance to shine, to reveal the hard work you have put into preparing for the test. You will be rewarded for the effort you have thrust into your studies. Preparation removes fear. When you are prepared, you will not fear. Preparation helps you maintain your cool under pressure. Preparation generates energy and enthusiasm; therefore, prepare and your coolness under pressure is sure to abound.

Initiative is creativity, inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employers value can-do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own course through projects, employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required to do and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times. Succeeding in high school, college, and in the career world is taking the initiative.

Problem-Solving Skills

Problem solving goes by far beyond your math textbook. Every assignment is an opportunity to weigh all possible solutions carefully and choose the on you think is best. As a working professional, you’ll be solving problems regularly, whether it’s fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problem solving situations occur extensively and frequently; therefore, be ready when then come.

When problems or challenges occur, some people look at them at negative experiences, as a crisis. These people are the ones who live day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the really successful people, those who are cheerful and optimistic, are those who look at problems as opportunities, opportunities to learn, grow, expand their horizons, and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

Speaking Skills 2 of 10

Speaking Skills

2 of 10

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients or represent their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/17334

According to The Book of Lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Weiner noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.

“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of American experiencing a dramatic fear of it,” said Dr. Michael Telch of the Laboratory for the Study of Anxiety Disorders (LSAD) in the Department of Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin. “People have had to turn down jobs and certainly students have dropped classes because of it.”

Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively. Whether you’re running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co-workers of just communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly and intelligently.

Make a judgment about the site’s reliability based on your own analysis of the site and the information it contains. Here are some ways to do this:

·       Look for facts you know or can check with a trusted source. If the site gets those facts right, it’s more likely that other facts on the site are also accurate.

·       Study the language used. Is it angry, satiric, or overly impassioned? This may indicate that this site is biased.

·       Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by evidence, and whether the site presents only one point of view.

Using the Web Wisely

Thanks to the Web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to post something online. Anyone can do it.

You’ve probably used the Internet to do research for a paper, to help you decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events. Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to fins sites you can trust.

Many websites claim to have facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in a biased way—they only give one side of an argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable one? Also, it is critical that you post online only that which is descent and appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste, untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good name for you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.
