Challenge B Homework Planner

  If you procrastinate, please raise your hand. If you aren't raising your hand, you are a pretty rare person. Kudos to you. Skip this post and do your homework. If, like me, you are an ultimate procrastinator who never seems to have anything on schedule, welcome to this post!    Recently (as in maybe 5 minutes ago) I decided that I should start planning out my work in order to get more done. The thing is, I have a planner for what time to start things, but where in that dinky little space am I gonna write what I'm going to do for each subject? Hmmmm...   With that little dilemma in mind (Hey! Let's create a Truth Table for that!) I logged on to Google Docs (A.K.A.

The Highlighting System

One of my favourite subjects in Challenge B is the Science. During the second semester, students read "Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds," by Phillip E. Johnson.

One of the ways that I prepare for outlining is using "THE HIGHLIGHTING SYSTEM" *enter dramatic music here*   I did not come up with the highlighting system, some other amazing human did, but I find it very helpful. It also helps me take note of my favourite things about the book. https://members.classicalconversations.com/article/how-be-good-reader-highlighting   The above link should take you right to the site that saved part of my life. Enjoy, and good luck with your highlighting!   P.S. If you can highlight, but can't outline, I will be creating an article on how to outline. Once I figure out how I'm going to go about doing that anyway. Bye!
