Haiku

I read Tyak’s piece

I looked up “homogeneous”

I now feel smarter

Alright, so my haiku writing needs a little work. To be honest, I was quite proud when I wrote the final line. Not that my haiku is an incredible piece of literature, but it goes along with what I have had on my mind in regards to what we were talking about in our last class. When reading any document or piece of literature, it is important to pay attention to words that you may not know. After you locate words in which you are unsure of, it is important to look up the definition of the word to fully understand the context of what your reading.

I believe this is especially important for teachers to bear in mind. If a teacher is not going to spend the time to really understand what the context of the material is saying, how then can he or she effectively teach the material to his or her students? Or how can the teacher expect the students to put any effort into really understanding what they are reading? In order to effectively learn, it is important to put forth the effort.

There is also a sense of gratification when you are able to read through an article, and understand exactly what it is talking about. So just don't read, but define and make sure yo understand the meaning of the words in the text. By the way, the definition of the word "homogeneous" is defined as: the same kind or nature, or to be alike.
