The 3 that I do

Finding Humor, Questioning & Posing Problems, and Habits of Mind as Learning Outcomes. The way I find humor to pick something out a reading and make it funny that way ther is no barriors in the way. The way I ask questions is to interpret an article and read, Then after when reading I would ask a friend, family, or even a neighbor a question creating a problem. Making both me and whomever I with think. The way I use Learning Outcomes is when I am taught something and I can use that in my everyday life.
When finding humor I go outside first with my friends and have one of them tell me a joke. Once I get my laugh out the way then it is on to the next one. When laughing you have an instinct and it may reinforce the social status. Humor is a human form of mutal playfulness. Without a laugh then you will be unable to do what needs to be done. You are increasing your brain power simply by laughing and having fun before working on a problem.
Questing and Posing Problems. The way this works is to find something challenging knowing that fact that you will not get everything on the first try. I use it everyday in english just because I do not get nothing when reading that "green book". So I ask classmates a question making them think hard and with my two cents we can answer anything about a passage that we might have read. Since I have problems most of time reading have questions down and keep thinking until you get an solution. But whatever you do, do not give up so easily.
Habits of mind as Learning Outcomes, I believe this works depending on how many answers a person might know. Also how a student is behaving. For example daydreaming, when anybody is daydreaming you are not thinking about answers, or questions, your thinking about air. Having the ability to edit, thinking flexible, expanding your mind, using imagination help you forever more. When writing I try to use my imagination because it comes from your own brain, plus it can get you real far.
My conclusion is that when using humor you make others around you more comfortable. The stress goes down cause the laugh makes you happy. Do not let a hard question make you say "I quit". When saying that then they win. They put critical questions down to test everyone's intelligence. About the editing, rewriting, etc that makes you a better writer for college. Now that is very helpful.
