Expanding Your Brain through Reading

development: apoptosis. The gene that had the strongest links to intelligence is the CSE1L, which has apoptosis and cell growth. Finally, researchers say the nervous system and the molecular mechanisms play a significant role in a human’s intelligence. Expanding my knowledge on this topic would be possibly studying how my own family dealt with school and how their habits are towards studying and they solve problems they encounter in their everyday lives. To also expand my knowledge, would be studying GWAS

Year by year, day by day, and minute by minute, machines are expanding. They have grown so much that this day in age, everyone is technology-dependent. The simplest tasks have become broken in our minds and we almost always use technology as our crutch. Both scientists and the average person have played a part in making technology what it is today. Whether it's an astronaut using a robot arm in outer space or your neighbor, using their GPS to find their way to work, nearly everyone on Earth uses

literacy test in order to collect data on their language, reading and spelling skills (De Jonge & Kemp, 2012). A general trend showed that students were more inclined to use abbreviations “for some words” when texting; 46% of high school students and 51 % of university students (De Jonge & Kemp, 2012). The results of the literacy tests showed that both high school and university students literacy abilities across all tasks (e.g. reading and writing) were within the average range (De Jonge & Kemp

1). Define bottom-up and top-down reading strategies. Be sure to give three examples of each strategy. Top- down is the process of understanding the whole picture. This means that the reader does not actually read the text word for word, but instead he uses his prior knowledge to fill up the gaps. The reader experience and his language cognitive abilities allow him to understand the the sentence by looking at keywords that would provide him with enough information based on his prior knowledge to

emotions in check all have positive effects in expanding a person’s capability to learn. Neglecting to care for the body also neglects to care for the brain. Also neglecting to care for the emotional health of the brain can have ill effects on the body. Without having a balanced diet, an essence of physical activity, and occasions of relaxation, ultimately, the ability to learn will suffer. Feeding the body also feeds the brain. A person’s brain has certain nutritional requirements to support

highly used search engine in the internet is Google. Many people believe that using Google has made people not use their brains therefore making them stupider. I on the other hand, believe that the internet is a great resource and tool for many things if used right and can actually help you learn and make you smarter. For example, having a question and quickly going to Google to find your answer before thinking about it first and coming up with the answer yourself, is not using it right and we shouldn

to fully grasp the grammatical structure and concept of the English language. It was worse through middle and high school, where things got all the more complicated and I learned how to write personal, analytical, and argumentative essays. This not only forced me to rack my brain for strong thesis statements, but to also think deeply and profoundly about a variety of subjects and topics. Eventually, through my struggles I saw my writing skills slowly improve throughout the years but even so, I realized

lonely psychopath due to video games, but that is not the case. The truth of the matter is that video games do little to no damage to kid’s brains. There are many more things that improved rather than decreased. There is even scientific evidence to support of this. With tests showing gamers develop the ability to use the smaller and faster portion of their brain to process situations and make decisions. It was also apparent that, with the right amount of play time, video games can even vastly improve

writing studio class, due to my Standardized Assessment Test (SAT) scores were low; has really helped me improve my organization, grammar, punctuation, and brain-storming. During this writing studio class, we were asked to jock down on our journal every Tuesday, any thoughts we had towards are writing or any activity we had worked on that day. Reading my journal today, I have realized a pattern. For every journal I had, I came to class prepared with something to do, leading me to be a step ahead and
