Cornell Notes

 First, finish up any posts that are incomplete from last week.

Then...I want you to work on improving your blog a bit.

Here is a link to a YouTube channel full of tutorials. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFbogLJ2e0r599XU6lII9qKwVE1msQ9EM His voice is a little hard to listen to, but he has good information. Just pick a few videos to watch and then try one of the tips on your blog.

Then you are going to look at a note taking method. 

While you may not realize how important it is now, note taking is an essential skill for college and really for the rest of high school. There are many different styles of note taking, and ways to improve your current note taking. We are going to start with Cornell Notes.

Start by watching this video...

 

In blog post write a little about Cornell notes. How does the method work? When could you use it? What do you like about it? What don't you like about it? Are there any questions you have about the process?

Lastly, I would like you to write about how the first month of school is going. Respond in detail (long answers) to each of the following questions:

1. What has been the best part of school?
2. What has been the most frustrating part?
3. Have you kept the same study habits from 8th grade or have you tried anything new?
4. What class are you most looking forward to? Why?
5. What class do you think will be the hardest for you? Why?
6. What have you noticed is different about being in high school? Do you like it more or less than junior high?
