Note taking


Today in human geography we talked about taking notes. We talked about this because in college we are going to have to take a lot of notes while the teacher is giving lectures. A note is a fragment of information that will become a complete thought in the writing process. So in order to prepare us on note taking during a lecture Mr. Schick read us a short paragraph on Illinois, while he read to us we had to jot down as much information as we could while still being accurate, so we made a practice blog out of the notes we took. After that Mr. Schick had a few of us read ours, to see how well we could complete this task.  I thought that this exercise was very helpful because we need to learn how to take notes in a different way, and in college you really have to pay attention because in a big class the teacher is not going to pay special attention to you and answer all your individual questions.
