have mainly used Metacognition when the homework involves reading. When Im

pin down where i get stuck and use Metacognition to try to get unstuck. Another
way that I use Metacognition is to fill out the double entry diaries. The
diaries help me out when there is something im stuck on, then I can write it

the MCAS practice worksheets I use Metacogniton to answer the questions. The
questions require deep thinking to choose the right answer. overall i use
metacognition on an everyday basis to complete my english homework assignments.
I have used Metacognition in other subjects other than english class.
