Note-making

Activity 3.1: Opener

Note-making has important qualities like when you can mark down the important details of anything as well as put your own input, like CCQ-ing. I think that it is a standard for success in AP because it requires you to be extrememly well with your notes and writing as well as putting your in your own inputs.

Activity 3.2: Note-making essentials:


 * 1) Review your previewing notes and use those thoughts to guide you
 * 2) Break reading into smaller, manageable chunks, maybe based on the headings in the text
 * 3) Write notes only after reading through a portion of the reading (a "chunk")
 * 4) Paraphrase the most important information from each chunk
 * 5) Add the most important details
 * 6) Make connections to other history that you have learned or current events
 * 7) Keep track of important vocabulary
 * 8) Ask questions and try to answer them
 * 9) Write the main ideas, in your own words, from each subtopic and one for the overall topic of the reading

Activity 3.3 Making Notes for Independent Understanding:

Activity 3.4 Reflections on Note-making:
 * 1) I liked the note-making model that you have provided because it gave a very good example of how you want the note taking to be like.
 * 2) The instructions did help with making. It provided the basics that I needed to know.
 * 3) I'm not sure if there was a difference if I had just read it than if i had made notes while reading it, but I think that even the note-making did help me gain a better understanding even if I don't know how much it is, that it exactly helped me.
 * 4) I think that i had the most trouble with finding the most important parts of the chunk. It has been sort of a weakness of mine to be able to find important parts. Also the Content Response still gives me a little of a hard time because it is also my other weakness.
