Why Do Students Procrastinate?

• Poor Time Management. Procrastination means not managing time wisely. You may be uncertain of your priorities, goals and objectives. You may also be overwhelmed with the task. As a result, you keep putting off your academic assignments for a later date, or spending a great deal of time with your friends and social activities, or worrying about your upcoming examination, class project and papers rather than completing them.

This mostly relates to me because I always make up a reason as to why I should not do my assignments even if I have lots of time to finish it and get it turned in. I obviously procrastinate seeing as though this blog is a week late and I had plenty of time in class to finish it. 

 

•  How to overcome procrastinating.
• Discipline yourself to use time wisely: Set priorities.

I will now try to use my time wisely instead of just sitting there doing nothing. Im going to make myself do it even if I really don't want to. I will just keep telling myself, if I do it now I wont have to do it later. 

If I could change education I would...

    If I could change education I would make it to where students are able to be in classes that allows them to learn the way they can be successful because not everyone can learn the way they teach. So I would make it to where there were different classes for each different learning styles. I would also make many group assignments so everyone can help each other out.

This week my students are learning about sound waves and how light bends to form a rainbow. 

Good ideas for my first lesson:

 6C:explore the uses of energy, including mechanical, light, thermal, electrical, and

          sound energy.

 6C:Demonstrate that light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object or travels

       through one medium to another and demonstrate that light can be reflected such as the

       use of mirrors or other shiny surfaces and refracted such as               the appearance of an object

       when observed through water.

 6D:Design an experiment that tests the effect of force on an object.
