4. Will I be able to do the activity?

You have already started the activity "Unity is strength"! Beginnings can create fears and insecurities.

If you complete STEP 1 of the Learning Journal (Will I be able to do it?) you will see that your feelings are normal when we start a task. To do this, you must organize your ideas through strategies that help you remember the information.

Remember:

  • Ask your teacher if you will fill it out on paper or on the computer.
  • If you fill it out on your computer, don't forget to save it to your computer when you're done!

Good luck, you'll do great!

¿Necesitas más ayuda?

¡Ya has empezado la actividad  "La unión hace la fuerza"! Los comienzos pueden crearte miedos e inseguridades.

Si completas el PASO 1 del Diario de aprendizaje (¿Seré capaz de hacerlo?) podrás ver que tus sentimientos son habituales cuando empezamos una tarea. Para ello debes organizar tus ideas mediante estrategias que te ayuden a recordar la información.

Recuerda:

  • Pregunta a tu profesor o profesora si la rellenarás en papel o en el ordenador.
  • Si la rellenas en el ordenador, ¡no te olvides de guardarla en tu ordenador cuando la termines!

¡Ánimo, que lo harás genial!
